When a child I drew much moreover I sewed dresses to all my dolls as well as different animals. I also designed plush toys on my own. I experienced a creative crisis in school years, and my muse returned when my daughter was born.

I haven’t managed to go to the theatre for already a year and that upsets me a great deal. And I am going to have my exam on the theatre history at the University!

I am quite critical to my works, I always see all the drawbacks which keeps me from feeling relaxed, on the contrary that urges me to constantly improve. Well, I tend to like the bunches I design. I make them with love and I guess that is the reason.

It’s disappointing me that I get flowers more rarely nowadays. I guess people think I have enough at work. But that’s not the case. I love flowers! You can order a bunch from me and give it to me as a present!

When I was pregnant I felt itchy for creation and meat. I ate meat, was involved into painting and drawing, did belly dances, ate meat, took vocal lessons, did yoga and aerobics, again ate meat, studied art history and the history of fashion… I am restless! And you don’t even imagine how tasty the meat was!

My daughter is a creative person. She draws and creates things. She creates very simple and at the same time highly unique things. She can make a roll of a plain green sheet of paper and put it into a roll of paper tissues, showing me the thing and identifying the whole composition as a flower in a vase. Her drawings are highly creative too! My colleague and I are her fans. We will arrange my daughters exhibition, no doubt.

Another occupation of mine is styling at photographic surveys. My responsibility is to work out the whole concept (from the place to the complete image with clothes, make up and positions) as well as to bring the latter into life. I love to transfigure people!

An interesting thing has recently happened. My boyfriend and I were biking, me hugging him so tenderly that he couldn’t resist and turned to the field. We lapsed into loving embraces in the middle of the field. We liked the thing. Both of us experienced that for the first time.

I am greatly involved with snowboarding. I love mountains, fresh air and snow! There’s nothing better that sliding down a hill early in the morning, then you have the skiing tracks ok, snow crunching.

I can’t stand lies and hypocrisy.

I am so good at cooking borsch! Without false modesty I invite you to try my borsch. You will not be able to cope with the temptation!

I love to decorate my own life and the lives of my nearest and dearest. Well, high heels, watches, decorations, artichokes, lean meat, white mushrooms, juicy apples, model images design and creation, creation, creation!

I’ve got a cat, it’s name is Jamal. It presents itself a black skinny sausage, Oriental breed. When it is sitting it resembles a figurine a great deal, and it’s more lake a panther when it walks. He is so talkative and tender. We play tig together and race with one another.
