About Me

Early on Violetta discovered her love and talent for art.  As a child she drew and painted almost as soon as she could pick up a pencil.  She attended Grekov Odessa Arts College for 5 years curating the school's gallery and doing freelance work while attending.

​

Upon graduating Violetta worked continuously on a wide range of projects for numerous clients both commercial and private.  Violetta had a thriving business in Ukraine for over 15 years and was well-known in the fine arts and decorative arts arena. Violetta's works have been purchased for collections in many places including England, Germany, USA, Ukraine, Bulgaria, and Moldova.

​

In February of 2022 Violetta was forced to leave her family, home and business when the Russian attacks on her homeland began.  With her young daughter she fled across Ukraine, Moldova, Romania and then onto Berlin. From there, with persistence, she was able to emigrate to Canada where she is re-establishing herself in the Arts community in Toronto.
