Like many artist through history I subscribe to a multidisciplinary approach to art making. I find that there are so many possibilities and so much potential for creativity in today’s world that it is our duty as artists to put the pieces together and make sense of all this materials at our disposal.
Hi there! My name is Olga and I am a beginner artist. Since I was a child I loved to draw and to observe the world in its natural shapes and colours. During the last few years I ended up pursuing other fields and only now I feel like I am ready to come back to my oldest dream.
I have always drawn since I was 6 years old and I had a portfolio of drawings. In college my professors never showed any classical techniques they were abstract artists. Today I teach art to 2 small schools in NH. I am a scribe for the SCA, a medieval educational society. I have been doing award scrolls for them. I used to do just the illumination, but started to practice my calligraphy on recreating a Beastiary.

Storytelling is the conveying of events in words, sound and/or images, often by improvisation or embellishment. Stories or narratives have been shared in every culture as a means of entertainment, education, cultural preservation and instilling moral values. Crucial elements of stories and storytelling include plot, characters and narrative point of view. The term ‘storytelling’ is used in a looser sense to refer to techniques used in other media such as paint and color pencil to unfold or disclose the narrative of a story.

Here, I found my passion about art. About a year ago, one night, I just took a piece of paper and a pencil and felt the urge to draw. That night I spent about five hours drawing all what was around me – furniture, potted flowers, my feet, legs, hands, some portraits from the internet. It seemed that I couldn’t stop. The next morning I called a friend of mine and asked: “Will you teach me how to draw?” For my surprise, she said “YES!” with great enthusiasm and the same evening arrived with a bunch of A3 size paper and some pencils and charcoal and this is where my journey began.
