I Hope you will find something special for yourself in my store or order a personal one! ♥ My name is Katya and I am an illustrator. Drawing is my way of meditation, drawing has been healing me for over 10 years. The love for drawing woke up in me in 2010, I was diagnosed with cancer, so as not to go crazy during treatment, I took brushes and paints and began to draw. I drew whatever came to my mi
nd, tried different styles and colors. It became my main hobby, but the works left what is called ''on the table''. In 2014, hostilities began in my country, my husband was taken to war, and I was left alone with a 3-month-old child. I remembered my hobby, took out paints and started painting again while my child was sleeping. The illustrations were about family, relationships, love. I drew what is important to me, painted what I want to preserve and protect. People liked my illustrations, they responded in the hearts of those who also valued their loved ones. It was at that moment that the first hands appeared - the hands of the family, the hands of hope, the hands of support. My collection of hands is perhaps the largest collection of family hands, with which you want to hug the whole world and make it kinder. As you know, on February 24, 2022, Russia openly invaded Ukraine, launched missile strikes throughout the country. It was a terrible morning when it seemed that the world had collapsed. My story repeated itself again - I have a newborn in my arms, and there is a war in Ukraine. Nights in the basements, the whistle of rockets, I hardly spoke for a month, I only cried and hugged my children to me. Months later, we all needed help, someone turned to a psychologist, and I picked up watercolor again. My watercolor drawings are healing me again. My illustrations are again about family, again about love despite the fact that the war is still going on.
