I am a 27-year-old artist and illustrator, a Russian-Canadian currently living in Australia with my wonderful husband, and enjoying every minute of it! I am a graduate of the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design (NSCAD University) in Nova Scotia, Canada, where my major was Media Arts, and my specific focus of study was Illustration and Digital Media.

I am inspired by all living things, great and small. I can often be found running around with my trusty digital camera, taking pictures of everything from blades of grass, to birds in the sky, to animals in the bush. The camera I use is the Panasonic FZ50, and I love it to bits!

I am also fascinated by how we humans relate to animals and the natural world - nature-based spirituality, environmental issues, as well as human cultures throughout history and how our own relationship with nature has evolved.
