After completing her university studies, Oksana traveled on an extensive tour through
Europe to experience first-hand the artwork she had studied and for the most part only
seen in print.
Since then, her wide-ranging global travels and years living as an expatriate in Asia
have exposed Oksana to many different art forms and various unique uses of
materials.
While raising two daughters,
Oksana has continued to expand
her creativity through painting,
photography, green design and
teaching art. She has always
been part a nurturing circle of
artistic friends and mentors.
Currently living in the Bay Area
she is now painting full time.
Her love of bold, vibrant color,
organic materials and contrasting
textures is immediately evident
when you experience her work.
You can clearly sense at an
emotional level the power of the
West Coast scenes that inspire
her expressionistic paintings.
