I was born an raised in Utah surronded by beautiful mountains and a deep culture of beautiful art both in my community and in my home. With my mother from Texas and father from Russia, I grew up in a dual-culture home. I have long been inspired by the Russian and Slavic folk art that I grew up seeing. I also grew up in a religious home and was greatly inspired by the work of many local artists of my faith, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. 

​

I am studying Illustration at BYU and will graduate soon with my BFA. I love studying the arts and have loved my time at BYU. 

​

I am passionate about making the world a more beautiful place because I believe that it has a great impact on the well-being of society at large. 

​

I am also a wife and mother and love my family more than anything! I love to create while still being with my husband and baby.
