From Art School to Own Business

Art Journey

Hi, I'm Tanya - a professional artist and illustrator.

I've been drawing since childhood, attended art school, and graduated from university with a degree in Fine Arts.

I worked as an art teacher for 10 years in an art school and college. Then I became a freelance illustrator and started working online with international clients.

Freelance Path

I Love Meeting People

Creative Community

I have always been a very social person. I love meeting new people and being part of a creative community.

For more than 10 years, I was an active member and co-organiser of Urban Sketching groups in Ukraine.

For 5 years, I also organised social art events where we drew live models, networked, and simply had a good time together.

New Home

And yes, by the way, I'm from Ukraine, from Odesa, my beloved city by the Black Sea.

I currently live in Ireland and find it incredibly beautiful and inspiring. I am especially in love with the amazing Irish castles and nature.

Now I'm also an active member of Dublin Sketchers and join the Sunday sketch walks whenever I can - always in great company.

And Here I Am

Twenty years of drawing people live, always in watercolour, always at events surrounded by good energy and beautiful moments.

Now I do this at weddings and events across Ireland - painting your guests live during the celebration. Each guest gets their own original watercolour portrait to take home.

It's everything I love in one place: art, people, and a reason to celebrate.
