As a child, I loved reading books and drawing pictures for them the most. I had two dreams: to become either a writer or an illustrator.How one becomes a writer was completely incomprehensible to me, so I went to art school to become an artist. I also attended a wood painting club, where I learned to paint matryoshkas.I still sometimes do it for my soul, and I wrote a book about matryoshkas because I love them very much.By education, I am a psychologist, I live in Saint Petersburg, and I am raising two boys. A few years ago, I traveled with friends in Australia and realized that dreams, even the most incredible ones, come true if you really want them.That’s why it was in Australia that I began to write my first fairy tale, and I finished it back home in Russia. Thus, the fairy tale "Magical Colors" and its heroine - the little dog Butyavka - came to life.And I also believe in miracles. And I wish the same to everyone because when you believe, they happen to us more often.
