So you are here - I guess it means you and me have much in common!

​We probably share the love for nature and wildlife, the beauty of flowers and birds, and all things pretty  - welcome!

My name is Irina, I'm a digital and traditional artist, and I LOVE watercolour! 

I'm also a commercial illustrator, art teacher and a busy mum :)

I'm a strong believer that art and creativity make our life more beautiful, so I strive to inspire you to admire the world through painting. Glad you're joining me!

My Magic Worlds

Inspired by Slavic legends, fairy tales and mythology, my illustrations become the worlds inhabited by magical creatures, animals and birds.

My art is a blend of digital art and traditional watercolours. Inspired by nature, I bring to life whimsical creatures, nature spirits, and the changing seasons. My work celebrates the magic in everyday life. I invite you to explore enchanted realms where fantasy and reality beautifully collide.

Teaching

My illustration classes take a very special place in my creative life.

I love sharing my ideas, techniques, tips and tricks with aspired beginners and fellow illustrators.

I usually provide plenty of guides, teaching materials and references of educational literature, inspiration books and advice of art supplies and technical requirements.

Procreate Brushes

I’m forever in search of various textures and effects in my art, which makes me constantly explore the ways of creating Procreate brushes that I use for my own illustrations and happy for other creators to use.

From animal and bird stamp brushes to intricate textured broad stokes and ethnic patterns, you can find all you need to create your unique masterpiece!
