About

Born and raised in Ukraine, Helen took a leap of faith at eighteen and moved to Los Angeles to pursue her studies. She went on to build a career as a software engineer for major corporations while raising twins and nurturing a lifelong passion for art through private classes.

After remarrying, Helen and her husband built a blended family, raising their three children alongside a new son. Then, one devastating day changed everything. A medical error during a routine surgery left one of her twins with a severe brain injury, abruptly transforming the life she had known and the future she had envisioned. Helen became a full-time caregiver for her son, and the foundations on which she had built her life were profoundly shaken.

What followed was a long and deeply personal journey of healing. Helen began reevaluating every aspect of her life, discovering new meaning through different values, priorities, and a renewed appreciation for the present moment.

During the rise of COVID-19, her family moved to Malibu, where she found herself drawn back to painting. Surrounded by the beauty of nature and embraced by a supportive community, Helen rediscovered art as a source of healing, connection, and hope.

Today, nature is at the heart of her artistic inspiration. Through color, light, and the quiet beauty of the world around her, Helen seeks to transform personal experience into something universal—an invitation to pause, reconnect, and find beauty even after life has changed forever. Her art is both a reflection of her own healing and a remedy she hopes to share with others.
