The beginning of my creative path began with my grandmother, who was an elementary school teacher and a very creative person, drawing well, playing the violin, knitting, sewing. She diligently instilled these skills in me.
After elementary school, ceramic artists quickly burst into my life, as my mother began working at the ceramics factory "Aksinya", which is part of the Association of Folk Arts and Crafts, and my fate was sealed. In seven years I have successfully graduated from art school, private studio of the chief artist of the factory Ovchinnikov IA and almost daily attended workshops for painting ceramics - I was preparing to enter the art academy. But the utilitarian production over the years began to repel me with its monotony and compressed framework, and almost at the last moment I changed my plans and enrolled in the humanities department.
At the same time, I continued to experiment and seek myself in art, mostly in painting.
Seven years ago I returned to ceramics and started creating boudoir dolls with porcelain body parts, then I started creating articulated porcelain dolls, honing my skills with porcelain.
In the last year I have been more and more engaged in the search for new forms, materials, methods of decoration and have gone into the abstract form, which does not carry a direct message, but makes you look at the idea of the author - each viewer in his own way.
