Professional Way
Ekaterina started her art education in 2007 with a private course in academic drawing. For 10 years, she was involved in printing and graphic design for business — she first worked as a leading manager in the Advertising Department of a trading company, then was self-employed. 2016-2018 years she spent in jewellery, most of all for learning how to work with different materials and techniques.

By now (2019), the decision to finally move into the artistic sphere has been approved. Ekaterina actively creates sketches, series of graphics and paintings, engravings on metal, installations. Historical calligraphy and Russian art have become important foundations of her creativity.
