A twig of a reed plant (cattail) with leaves, black and whit (2022) Painting by Maria Terskikh

I am an aspiring artist, my name is Maria, I graduated from art school. I live in the beautiful city of Irkutsk. I started drawing since I was a child. Now I am 39 years old. I am inspired to create paintings - nature walks, animals, plants, people. I like to draw mostly natural objects, especially animals and plants, probably because I work as a biologist with plants. I am engaged in creativity in my free time from my main job. I have a daughter whom I love very much and often paint her portraits. My paintings are more often made with gouache, watercolor, oil pastels, rarely with pencil, I do not work with oil paint
