I was born in Ukraine. Currently live in Ballston Spa, NY. Freelance artist, have a master’s degree in art. Experience of doing art in different mediums for over 25 years. After immigrating to the US I worked in a place where I could practice my language skills – served coffee in a café, that actually inspired me to create my first coffee painting. When I lived in Ukraine and had my art studio, I worked on ceramics and sculptures and taught in Art School for Teens. Now I do some acrylic paintings and recently concentrated on coffee paintings. I also have some arts and crafts with kids and watercolor classes for adults.
Art Education:
1995/01 The Lviv National Academy of Arts (Decorative and Applied Arts)
1989/93 Donetsk Art College (Design)
1985/89 Art School for Teen’s
My exclusive art technique - with using brewed coffee as my medium.
Its based on my experience in watercolor and different experiments with liquid coffee.
Most of my original art pieces are made on stretched canvas with only coffee.
