02.02.1982 Minsk, the capital of Belorussian Soviet Socialist Republic, was covered with a beautiful snowstorm where I was born late in the evening. Thank Goodness The Soviet Union collapsed before I had to become a pioneer so my childhood was quite normal.
Raised by my beloved parents in a harmony, love, respect and happiness I felt always very free, open minded and curious about the world and life. Every summer I spent a month with my grandmother in a country side where she was teaching me about nature. I was surrounded by millions of flowers and berries spending lots of time walking in a meadows or woods with her.
She had 11 children, never learned to read or write, never traveled more than 20 kilometers away from home. But she was the wisest person I had ever known. Looking back I think that all my love for the Mother Nature, for the beauty of the Earth, hope, forgiveness and care for all Mankind I have got from my grandmother Lidia.
When I was 6 my parents chose an art school for me where I was happily studying for 11 years. Painting, drawing, clay modeling, macrame were part of my life almost every day. My favorite was the summer practice when we lived in the tents in the middle of the country doing lots of nature paintings and having fun as all kids would do.
About me
Choosing my way after the school was not easy. Most kids from my class went to the Art Academy or University of Architecture. But I chose to study History of Arts and Museology at the European Humanities University. Falling in love with a designer from the same university made me unexpectedly young mother at the age of 20. Well, it turned my whole world upside down.
