Asya Oranskaya

I was born in City Kiev the capital of Ukraine.
I started to draw pictures when I was a child. First I used pencils and watercolor. It was a miracle to find out that my work brings to life my fantasies.
However I was working as a clothes designer, I always painted not only models. After I got a college diploma I became a computer designer, but I was first a wall a painter and a poet. In Ukraine I got many publications in magazines and newspapers, but my first book was published in 1990.
In 1992 I came to America. Here I find out that I could buy everything I need for painting in a store and nobody will ask me to show an ID which say that I am a member of the Artist’s Union of Ukraine.
I was happy to buy all I need and I started to work.
