I’m a mixed media artist, and I paint my dreams... I was painting and drawing as long as I can remember myself. Words never came easy to me and art always helped me express myself, escape from reality and create my own magical world. I live with my wonderful family in the suburbs of New Jersey, USA. I absolutely love animals and nature, they both inspire and affect my art. I teach art classes at my home studio and online.
I love to meet new artsy friends, please join my online art community here:

spectacular demo! I was glued to every word and every paint stroke. I realized watching this that I need even more layers and value in my paintings and sketches. Love the finished piece and how the supplies were used. Beautifully done, Olga.
