BIO :
I was born in Ukraine in 70s . I grew up with my overly intelligent Russian Jew's family into a free spirited artist gypsy . As long as I remember I did sketches of comics-cartoons with dogs . I didn't attend art-school and for some reasons I didn't score at art-classes in my learning years .
I immigrated to US in 1998 and I say that America is my country . I love it with all its up and downs and awesome people who became my nation . I moved from state to state a lot and ended up in Utah , state where I feel like home .
I paint from the heart , mostly animals . Animals are sunny side of my universe . Working full time at Animal Emergency as a vet tech I'm very happy of what I'm doing for living . I get emotionally attached to my paintings and have a really hard time to let them go :)

I have 3 best kids , 1 cat , 2 dogs , and 2 chickenz .

I work night shift at animal emergency and when it's quiet I like going on Flickr and draw animals that make my heart flick . I want to thank everybody who didn't mind me using their photos for my hobby . THANK YOU ALL .

Yeah ,...If you like my art-style , feel free to contact me , I will be happy to draw for you .

Favorite quote : The Cat That Walked by Himself

"He will kill mice, and he will be kind to babies when he is in the house, just as long as they do not pull his tail too hard. But when he has done that, and between times, and when the moon gets up and night comes, he is the Cat that walks by himself, and all places are alike to him. Then he goes out to the Wet Wild Woods or up the Wet Wild Trees or on the Wet Wild Roofs, waving his wild tail and walking by his wild lone."

    "I know I'm a little prejudice because TheClueInBlue is a friend but I never about this artistic talent. It was a stunning surprise to see these paintings.

    There is something audacious, a gutsy use of colors and textures. She starts from a photograph but with her intuitive heart, she finds a way into the soul whether of animal or person, she emphasizes particular aspects and gives a whole new dimension to the subject."
