Growing up in Eastern Europe and being surrounded by art inspired her to start painting at a young age. She earned a degree in Architecture and primarily worked in the field.
She moved to Canada in 1993 and later obtained a Fine Art diploma from a correspondence school.
Working in oil, she finds endless inspiration in everyday life and nature. While some painters choose to create detailed and refined artwork, she prefers not to replicate photographs. Instead, she enjoys painting in a way that reveals an idea of the subject.
Her style combines impressionistic and realistic elements, striving to portray the surrounding world with life-like accuracy. Each painting aims to be a window into the unique moment she captures.
