I met these two beautiful artists and I hope to see them and their art in the future,

Lately I have been obsessed with yarn. I have discovered Noro Yarn in our local store in Princeton  Pins and Needles  about a year ago and since then I have been knitting a lot.
Today I wore my first dress that I just finished. I have never thought that I would ever be able to knit myself a dress.
It felt so nice and soft and warm and I got so many compliments on my dress.
I really love hand made items. And since I was a child my mother always made clothes for me and I developed love for hand made clothes and toys from my early childhood..
When I go shopping for clothes I want to find something special and I often come home with nothing.
Then I found out about this wonderful community of people on ravelry where there are so many talented artists. I fell in love with Steven West patterns but I was afraid to start a big project since I did not know how to read the patterns, so I taught myself how to read the pattern. Nowadays with youtube it is so easy.
Let me share with you with what I have made.

This is a dress made by my mother Tatiana Oles  She is a wonderful artist and has been inspiring me all the time.

You are welcome to leave comments! I love reading them

The owners of the gallery Jane and her husband Edward did a great job putting the show together. There are many wonderful pieces of work from various local artists.
I recommend to stop by and check it out if you are in the area. I am sure you will find something you might like.
​

Here are few pictures from the reception

Loved this piece

Delicious cupcakes with the image of  Rachel Bliss painting.

It's winter. That means it's cold. I am not loving cold weather much that is why I tend to spend most of the time in my warm and cosy studio.
When you have little children its hard as they have to be constantly entertained.
Here is an idea how can keep them busy and happy.
I am so grateful to my little son that loves Art as much as I do. 
​That is what we do to make sure we are not bored.

I love to see other artists  painting. It is very inspiring and you can learn a lot.
Here I would like to share the works of Gregory Tsurkan.
His works will speak for themselves
Please visit his website to see more of the artwork

I would like to share with you that I had my art opening reception at  Small World Coffee Caffe in Princeton. 
I want to thank all my friends that came and were there for me and showed their support and appreciation.
There are 76 pieces on display. New art pieces that I have been working in the last 3 years. The paintings will be shown all month of May until June 9th.
Here are some of the pictures from the Reception.
If you are in Princeton and could not come to the reception please stop by at Small World and check them out.

Cold winter months are over. Spring is here. I was really busy and completely forgot about my blog. 
Today I thought I would write a little update about what I have been up to.
February was a very busy and good month. 
I had two art shows and was able to show and sell my new artwork.
I was  participating in a fund raising event for Big Brothers Big Sisters with Jacqui Alexander, we had a one day art show in Lambertville NJ.

Another very nice event was Art Jam organized by Home Front, 50% of the sales would go to Home Front.
It was a beautifully organized Pop Up Art Gallery  in the heart of Princeton. I was very honored to be a part of this wonderful event.

It is December,
Time flies, 
I am not ready for Christmas season. I am still in Summer mode. 
But here are some of the things I came up with for holidays that might make a nice gift. 
I am very excited to learn a new computer art program that helps me modify and improve and work on my paintings and create objects like, pillow cases for the household, watches, totes and more. Here are some of the new designs.

Decorate your room , sofa with this decorative objects. I ordered some for myself and was very happy with the quality of the product.
