Bio

At 13, I made the life-changing move from Kazakhstan to the USA, a journey that has shaped my path ever since. As I navigated the complexities of adapting to a new culture, my appreciation for diverse perspectives deepened, while my connection to Kazakh traditions and art remained strong. Today, I draw from both worlds, blending my heritage with a passion for exploration and creativity. Through my work, I seek to bridge cultures, share unique stories, and celebrate the richness of diversity.

Experience

For many years, I have dedicated myself to the role of an art teacher, guiding others through their creative journeys. This work has been deeply rewarding, allowing me to foster growth and exploration in others. Alongside teaching, I’ve had the privilege of participating in art shows, leading workshops for orphanages, and expanding my artistic expression through music, dance, and theater. Each experience has enriched my understanding of art and its power to inspire.
