Hello Dear Friends,
I’m Alla, self-taught artist, educator, and motivator.
I was born in Belarus (USSR), lived in Siberia and Egypt and after traveling the world, I have settled in Zeeland, Michigan, USA.
My 40 years experience extends from teaching, working with families and children as Director of Russian Adoption, and now devoting my life purely to ART.
I am here to addict people to art and creativity through my art, teachings, and inspiration.

Art of Living with JOY
Art has an immense healing ability-it helps to center us, calm down, and enrich. I believe that art could be a huge alternative in healing depressed feelings, sadness, hopelessness and fostering a healthy self-esteem.

Art Education
I strongly believe that everyone is an artist.
Teaching art over 17 years, I have developed proven methods of cultivating styles that are unique to each student. My simplified painting techniques turn “I can’t draw” into “I am an Artist!”
What inspires me?
Nature. I do not use art as my political language. It is a way to connect with my innocent self, which is a part of this Nature and Universe. When I paint wild grasses or trees, I am not an observer, I am one of them. Connecting with Mother Nature to “lose my mind and find my soul” (J. Muir), get quiet, grounded, balanced in our present overstimulating world is why I paint.
