Biography
Oksana is a visual artist based in Peoria. She was born in North Caucuses, USSR. An avid painter since childhood, she studied art in Stavropol Art School. After receiving her master’s degree, Oksana moved to Peoria and augmented her formal art studies with extensive travels in North America, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia, painting and visiting the great museums.
Oksana believes that art is a reflection of other fields of human reality, both visible and invisible. Art is also the language that allows her to think and create new essences. She is inspired by nature and the colors it produces. Her paintings hang in public, private, and corporate collections around the world.
