A life of care.
A language of wool.

Art found me
along the way.

Born in Russia and raised in Ukraine, I began my working life as a pharmacist. After moving to the United States, I became a massage therapist. Both professions taught me patience, sensitivity, and a deep appreciation for the human experience.

Those qualities eventually found another home: my art.

Two years before immigrating, I attended a small felting workshop in Ukraine. I brought dyed wool with me across the ocean, without knowing quite where it would lead. Later, a simple online video showed me that pictures could be made from wool. My artistic journey quietly began.

I explored watercolor, acrylic, and oil painting, but wool became my own language. I love its warmth, its colors, and the way the fibers come together to suggest an expression, a petal, or a little light on water.

Each work is composed by hand, layer by layer. My hope is that it invites you to slow down, look a little closer, and discover how an unexpected material can hold emotion, memory, and soul.
