During worst moments of loneliness, I coudln't do art myself but had to do it with company in order to feel safe to use art to find my way out.

Hi, I am Yana - an art lover, working wife, and plant lover.

I help my clients and their support workers/families feel empowered / be expressive / experience the healing power of creativity through my real focus in art making / providing them a safe, warm and supportive company. 

My Story

As practitioners of art making, I believe in the power of balance. I acknowledge the importance of a fluid connection between body and mind and believe that art making can ground and nourish us with creativity and energy.

 

I believe in the importance of connection and compassion, and strive to share our experiences of growth and learning through hardships to empower others. I aim to live a better life through love and hope, and to provide strength and joy to those around us in life’s unpredictable journey.

 

I value teamwork, knowing that working with others in art can result in productive collaboration and personal growth through humility.

 

I have faith in the healing power of creativity, and aim to help clients build trust in themselves through the process of art making. I believe that belonging to a diverse world, art has helped us find confidence and expression, and I hope to bring joy to others as they discover their own.

 

My dream is to be a resourceful and reliable companion in people’s journey towards self-discovery and meaningful connections through art. I strive to make art accessible and meaningful to all, fostering a supportive community that celebrates diversity, creativity, and growth.
