“When I was a teenager in Russia, I attended art school and painted quite a bit. I was pretty good and actually won a couple of awards, but I never did anything with it after I graduated. Instead, I concentrated on making jewelry, which I’ve done for fourteen years now. But then I went through a divorce. It was really hard emotionally, and after my son went to bed in the evenings, I couldn't go to sleep. I’m not a person who can just watch TV and do nothing, so I picked up a pencil and began to draw again, then to paint in acrylics and watercolor. Sometimes I would stay up until midnight or later. It helped me cope so that I wouldn’t feel so alone. It helped me. It really helped me through.”
