Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
It was different all the time.
When I came to LA, I worked a lot, like a lot of people here.
Then I got married to my ex-husband. I experienced a lot in those marriage, that’s different story, after which a channel for creativity opened up for me.
I have always loved art, but until 2019 I never painted.
When I started painting, I saw that my paintings were recognized by people who understood and appreciate art a lot. This inspired me even more, and I began organizing my own exhibitions.
The idea to open my own gallery came about when I started exhibiting my art work in Laguna Beach Gallery.
One day, when I was transporting art works to the gallery, 2 of my large works flew onto the highway. This become the starting point and impetus for opening my own gallery.
Now I work with full enthusiasm.
I do almost everything myself, sometimes with the help of my artists and the support of friends.
I invest a lot in business development, producing new creative works of art and teaching new students.
Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know about your work?

The gallery aims to ensure that people enjoy art and have free access for contemplation of artistic values.
My work and other artists works are aimed at showing people how important it is to appreciate our life now and always, the life of each individual, and life of people in society, to value friendship and love, to be kinder to each other, to the world around us, to be happy and grateful, to enjoy beauties and colors of our life and our world, to understand and appreciate our planet Earth and everything what we have around us. To make our world kinder, more beautiful and happier. And be grateful for all the wonders of this world and our vast Universe.

I remember as a child, when I was 5-6 years old my grandfather and I went to Moscow, and we spent the whole day at the Tretyakov Gallery and I lost one of my gold earring there:)
