My Bio
I was born in Russia and lived in Ukraine and New York City. Currently, I reside in Tampa, Florida! Art & music is my life and my passion! I fell in love with painting at a very early age, and discovered my passion for oils about 4 years ago. I have not had any formal training, so what you see are the results of personal experiments and fragments of my subconscious. I also enjoy sharing the process of my paintings on my youtube channel with thousands of wonderful subscribers. See my videos here: youtube.com/lenadanya Occasionally they feature my piano pieces.
The center of my work changes along with my fascinations and life. I'm constantly learning and doing my best to grow. I learn by experimentation, and that's what makes it so exciting for me. Just an overall sense of not really knowing what you're doing, but letting the paint take you somewhere interesting. My inspiration can spark anywhere and from anything. I always feel connected to my work.
I believe there is always room for progression, growth, and knowledge. I certainly don't plan on ever stopping, so I hope you join my creative journey! Promise it'll be fun :)
Though my preference is oils, I also enjoy acrylics, watercolors, and pencils. I've done digital painting before, but always found traditional art to be more fulfilling.

Hello everyone and thank you so much for all your support and sweet comments! I am sorry if I haven't gotten the chance to get back to you I'm kind of swimming in work and errands (yay being an adult -_-) but I am very grateful for your kindness! :hug:

At the moment I'm working on this piece, "Emerge" :
baby stages:
It's different from previous paintings in this series, and that's mainly because I wanted to paint the water with a bit more movement and life. Although, it'

Happy birthday! 
I love your paintings so much and you inspire me. I watch all of your YouTube videos as well...you taught me that being an artist for a career isn't bad...I'm glad I know someone else who doesn't think I will be living in a box and have to eat paint for the rest of my life.
