Position: Professor at the National Academy of Fine Arts and Architecture.
The creative heritage, which includes a considerable number of easel paintings, portraits, landscapes and still lifes, is a significant page in the Ukrainian fine arts. Philosophical thinking, an impressive ability to generalise in various compositions, colouristic skills are harmoniously combined with the psychological traits of a refined master of easel painting. A series of works (about 200 canvases) "Ancient and Modern", dedicated to the life of people of her native Poltava region, became a valuable contribution to the development of national culture. The artist's work constantly attracts the interest of art lovers and art critics.
