"The challenge of raising a child or cooking a healthy pot of food for my family was almost never as hard as painting a human being or mixing the right hues, evoking my emotions and thoughts onto canvases. I paint the stillness and the quietness, the inner life-the beauty of life, expressed through the figurative art, objects and landscape. Painting after painting, I'm aiming to become better at examining the powerful marriage of feelings and thoughts in a more coherent way."

Love of art took her from the native land of Russia in the late 90-s to Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, and then Florida. She followed her inner passion through studies in Oklahoma State, Penn State and art schools in New York. In her artistic lifetime, Veronica has demonstrated perseverance and commitment, investigating every new canvas with emotional wit. She has created artwork for many prominent clients, who have collected her pieces over the years.

The artist's drive to share her knowledge with the world and to answer numerous questions hitting her mail inbox has sprung into several books. Packed with information, her art books are a great resource for beginning artists drawing in colored pencil, graphite and painting.

Veronica has received many awards and publications, including Artists & Illustrators, Leisure Painter, UK art magazines; American Art Collector, American Artist Studios, Colored Pencil magazine, Syracuse Cultural Workers datebook, etc.
