Tell us a bit about how you first started painting.
I was born into a family of artists, so my toys were pencils and paints. I have been drawing since early childhood. During my school years, I helped my parents do their art work: I painted portraits in oils, drew cartoons, and developed street advertising.

Who or what inspires you most?
Inspired by sunlight on objects and faces, inspired by nature combined with watercolors.
What does procrastination look like for you?
In my case, this is perfectionism. I want to do the job perfectly and I'm afraid to ruin it. My husband inspires and supports me and gives me confidence, so this condition rarely occurs.

A clean workplace, new art materials, exhibitions, ideas in my head make me go to the studio and draw.
How do you generally arrive at ideas for your paintings?
Being in nature, at the sea, in the garden, I look at the forms, follow the light and imagine how it can be depicted in watercolors, make sketches, ask questions and try to find the answer.

How do you keep art "fresh?" What techniques have helped you avoid burnout and keep your work vibrant and engaging?
Freshness of art "Positive!" I enjoy simple things like a child. I try to see only advantages in everything. I love the sun and rain alike. I have a very cheerful family, she makes me smile and see the world in bright colors. With my creativity, I want to tell the world that it is beautiful.
What do you feel you are learning about right now as an artist?
Myself, trying to understand who I am and why I am here.
