Born in Ukraine, earning a degree in Fine Arts and Education, Tatyana brought her career to the US as an in-house artist at a gift and party goods company, before moving to a graphic arts studio and beginning a busy freelance career. She enjoys to work in a variety of styles—from whimsical art for children to sophisticated florals—bringing her passion for illustration and surface pattern design to products for everyday, holidays and special occasions. Her joyful art appears on products in tabletop, home décor, fabric, party ware, juvenile apparel, gift, and stationery markets.
“I believe that art for products is not just for decoration,” says Tatyana. “It’s for celebrating the little and big moments in our lives, for making memories, expressing our taste, making statements about who we are... When creating a new design, I love to imagine what it might become: the face of someone’s favorite coffee mug, a pattern on a tablecloth at a family gathering, or an image on a nurse’s scrub that could make a child smile. Thinking about it leads me to many new ideas and gives my art purpose.”
