Hi! I'm Kat, and I've been painting interiors and spaces for over 14 years.
I'm excited to share my framework with you inside this workshop, where we'll tackle composition, meaning, emotion, and oil painting together. As an artist born in Russia, I've earned global recognition for my contemporary oil paintings of interiors and landscapes.
I have a Bachelorā€™s in Fine Art from Kutztown University, which I earned in 2011, and since then, I've been showcasing my work internationally, solidifying my place in the global art community. My explorations of mood, emotion, and themes of home and belonging are influenced by post-impressionism, fauvism, and magical realism.
Inspired by the Fauvists, Peter Doig, Bonnard, and the Impressionists, my work focuses on identity and belonging, often through painting interiors and landscapes. In this workshop, I hope to share with you how I create safe and inviting spaces in my art. My goal is to help you feel confident in your painting process and bring your unique energy into your artwork.
