I was born in Ukraine and raised in Brooklyn, New York. My parents and grandparents left Ukraine when I was two years old. We didn’t own much; they carried one suitcase and me. Now I have a younger sister and we are a very small and close family. Russian is still our first language.

I am an artist and my work includes illustration and mural painting. There are too many things that I want to accomplish in life so I’ve never put a cap on my creativity.

I also model and design clothing.  I just love beauty and I love creating beautiful things.

My style is ultra feminine! I’m always wearing a dress with a pair of heels. The clothing I wear and the clothing I design are inspired by the simple sophistication of Chanel, Dianne Von Furstenburg and Calvin Klein.

I love everything that comes with being a woman – sex appeal, elegance, emotion and power.

I am complexd because I believe I am capable of doing more than one thing so I do everything.
