Let me tell you a little bit about my hobbies.

I love succulents, and grow more than 200 plants in my in my three-room apartment, including giant monstera and about 40 orchids.

I have plenty of owl figures: teddy, plastic, clay, porcelain, and even carved from deer horns; handmade, or bought in various travels, or brought to me by my husband as souvenirs .

I collect seashells and butterflies (hawk moths are my favorite). I would also like to buy some insects from Phylliidae family, but cannnot afford them for now. I have one - Phyllium giganteum, I brought it from the Moscow Reptilium Exhibition a couple of years ago when I had the chance to go there. But that’s all for now.

I recently saw eleven insects in one frame in the online store! That's a dream, friends! 😍 It’s impossible to get this beauty, but I’m an artist, which means I can draw it!

So this is the beginning of my work.

Figure size 47 by 47 cm. I draw with soft Sennelier and Schmincke pastels, Cretacolor pastel pencils and CaranD'ache Pablo pencils plus black and white charcoal.

This is going to be a picture, which I will frame and hang on the wall in my room.
