Meet the Artist

Hi, I’m Natasha — a contemporary artist creating hand-painted family tree artworks as meaningful personal commissions. My work transforms family histories into visual compositions that are designed to be lived with, gifted, and kept as long-term family keepsakes.

My Work

I specialize in custom family tree paintings, created individually for each client. Each piece is built around a family’s structure and story, and developed through a hand-painted process. My aim is to create artwork that feels personal, balanced, and lasting — something that reflects not just names and relationships, but a sense of continuity and connection.

Artistic Practice

Before focusing on family tree artworks, I worked across illustration, portraiture, and commissioned art for private clients and publications. Today, my practice is centered on creating hand-painted family compositions that combine illustration and fine art approaches. Each commission is developed individually, from concept through to final painting.

Philosophy

I believe art is most meaningful when it reflects real human connection. A family tree painting is not just a decorative object — it is a way of preserving relationships and memory in a visual form that can be shared across generations.

Background

I’m originally from Kyiv, Ukraine. I’ve been painting since I was a toddler, becoming one of the youngest students at Kyiv’s Fine Arts Prep Studio at the University of Engineering and Architecture at just four years old.

In my childhood, I was exhibiting my book illustrations alongside professional artists, dreaming of a creative career. After immigrating to the United States as a teenager, I became determined to make my passion for art into a career. I graduated with honors from the University of Connecticut with a Fine Arts degree and later earned a Master’s Certificate in web and graphic design from Sessions College for Professional Design.

My work appeared in numerous galleries and venues across the U.S. My artwork is part of private collections in North America, Europe, and even Australia.
