I’m also very happy to share some exciting finalist news. My artwork has been selected as a finalist in the Lethbridge Gallery Small Scale Art Award 2026 in Brisbane, with the exhibition taking place during August 2026. In addition, I have been selected as a finalist in the 9×5 Landscape Art Prize 2026 at Waverley Woollahra Art School, with the finalist exhibition opening in September 2026.
And there is even more to look forward to — my next solo exhibition is coming in September. I’ll be sharing details of this new body of work very soon, so stay tuned for the official announcement.
Thank you, as always, for following my artistic journey and supporting my work. I hope to see some of you at one of the exhibitions this month.
Before moving to Australia, I spent five formative years working at Edipresse Ukraine, an international publishing house. I began as a designer and illustrator and later took on the role of chief editor, alongside working as a photographer and illustrator. This period played a significant role in shaping my approach to clarity, storytelling, and creating strong, high-quality visual narratives. Between 2004 and 2009, I worked across a wide range of publications and roles: 2006–2009 — Chief Editor, Photographer, Designer & Illustrator, Fun Ideas (children’s craft magazine) 2006 — Designer & Illustrator, English Teen Club (English-learning magazine for teenagers) 2004–2008 — Illustrator, Horoscope (women’s magazine) 2005 — Designer, Marketing Department
Murals are a powerful way to transform an interior, creating an immediate emotional response and a strong sense of place. Whether subtle and atmospheric or bold and expressive, a mural can change the mood of a room instantly, making it feel more connected, considered, and complete. As a Sydney-based artist and designer, I specialise in creating custom interior murals that integrate seamlessly with residential and commercial spaces. Unlike external murals, interior murals become part of daily life — interacting with natural light, architecture, furniture, and textures. A well-designed mural unites colours, materials, and styles, acting as a visual anchor for the entire interior. I work exclusively with professional, art-quality acrylic paints, chosen for their durability, colour stability, and practicality. Acrylic paint is washable and long-lasting, making it ideal for interiors where both beauty and functionality matter. With correct surface preparation and finishing, an interior mural remains vibrant and resilient for many years. Finish plays a crucial role in the final result. When working with acrylics, it is important not to mix matte and glossy surfaces unintentionally, as this can disrupt the visual harmony of the artwork. A consistent finish ensures the mural reads as a cohesive piece rather than fragmented elements reflecting light differently. An interior mural is often the final design layer — the element that brings everything together. It can soften a minimalist space, add depth to neutral interiors, or create a quiet focal point that enhances the character of a room. Thoughtfully created, a mural does not overpower an interior; it completes it. If you are looking for a custom mural artist in Sydney to create a unique, site-specific artwork for your interior, I welcome collaborations with homeowners, interior designers, architects, and commercial clients.
