My Mother’s Influence on My Creative Path (Part 1)

Growing up surrounded by my mother's creative projects shaped my creativity. Even now, she continues to turn ordinary moments into opportunities for artistic expression. Whether she is sewing, painting, or rearranging furniture to give a room a fresh feel, her passion for art and design is contagious. My aunt is also incredibly talented and has created — and continues to create — many beautiful garments and accessories. I will be happy to showcase my mother's and my aunt's work, as well as my own, on this blog, gradually sharing our pieces.

Gems From The Past (Fashion)

These outfits were designed and sewn by my mom, Lana, during our time in Russia, Peru and Sweden in the 80s and 90s. (Red sweater knitted by my aunt, Mila).

In these final two photos, I wore a leather jacket made by my mom and attempted to create my own curtain dress.

I can confidently say that my mother’s artistic influence, combined with the unique cultures of my childhood in Russia, Peru, and Sweden, has shaped me and my creative path.
