A true push towards her official career in the arts was inspired by breathtaking art classes from internationally recognized Swiss artist, Elena Goubar. Elena taught Svetlana many new techniques, including palette knife painting. After her continuous learning curve with many other recognized art masters in Washington, such as N. Samoukov, Emilya A Lane, and many online courses,  Svetlana was inspired to pass on her knowledge and love for the arts younger generation. With a degree in education and love for children, Svetlana strives to help the young artists express themselves, accumulate new techniques and knowledge, as well as simply enjoy the art in its true and diverse nature. Her creative and colorful approach to designing lessons, using the latest methods and materials, helps the young artists fully immerse themselves into the world of art in its truest form.
