Nastia was born in a small Siberian town, where she grew up surrounded by the wilderness of the forest and the grey frigid cityscapes. She spent her childhood exploring nature, admiring every living thing along the way, making up stories and drawing her fantasy world. Painting and drawing have always been a meaningful part of her life. However, she grew up with a lot of stigma around the art world.
In 2007 Nastia graduated from a local art school with the highest grades and no passion for art. And it wasn’t until 2018 when in a small art studio in San Francisco she allowed herself to be the artist she is. In years after that under careful guidance of mentors like Michael Markowitz, Maria Erokhina and Hanna Zubkova, Ana has advanced and matured as an artist and has found her voice in art.
