about me
Hello! I am an artist and muralist with Eastern Europe heritage. From an early age till now my favorite activity has been painting and I'm very happy to turn this passion into full time position. Currently I work as an artist and muralist in Arizona state and since 2020 I've created over 200 murals within Arizona, Costa Rica and Africa. In November 2021 the article about my work was published in Shoutout Arizona magazine and since then I became one of the busiest local artists.
Within last couple of years I've also been working on illustrations of children's books such as "A bear, a moose and a princess", "Sour little blueberry", "The sloth story" and few others and some of them are available for public purchase.
I've moved to Arizona in 2013 and since then I've been leading fun public painting parties at Art of Merlot studio and after it was closed due to covid issues I've started my own business and help people to uncork their creativity and discover hidden talents during offsite events. So far I've instructed over 2000 painting parties and workshops for children and adults.
One of the most favorite things for me to paint is animals and I've been painting pet portraits on canvases, magnets and wooden ornaments for people from all over the world. All of these unique custom gifts are available to purchase on my Etsy store "ViktoriasartGifts".
