Hello, dear nature art lover
Inspired by nature in every form.
From the first leaf that opens in spring to an ammonite dissected from stone millions of years old, Katya is inspired by nature in all its demonstrations.
My name is Katya. I'm a Ukrainian paleo, wildlife and botanical illustrator, and a member of the UK and American Society of Botanical Artists.
Filling up inspiration from nature, it is not surprising that the main direction of my art is natural history illustration.
01 — Palaeontology
Dinosaurs, fossils & deep time.

02 — The museum story
From childhood curiosity to Ukrainian fossils.
I am from Kharkiv, so my first contact with natural curiosities was in the Kharkiv Natural History Museum. I was a child, Jurassic Park had just come out, so of course I was looking for dinosaurs - but they weren't there.
I asked a museum guide where the dinosaurs were. "Probably they didn't live here," he replied. I thought it was sad, but it really interested me.
After almost 30 years I returned to the fossils and wildlife of Ukraine and Europe as a whole. My paleo and entomology illustrations can soon be seen in the Ukrainian National Museum of Nature.
