I am passionate about street art because it combines three of my favourite things: painting (big!), traveling, and meeting people from different backgrounds. Public art connects you to the fabric of society in a special kind of way. As someone who has moved around the world solo since I was 17 and worked in various industries - from civil engineering, to advertising and healthcare - along my windy path to a full-time artist, there is a lot I would love to share from my life journey and the stories of inspirational people met along the way.
Since 2020, I have been a part of various Toronto street art initiatives: KJ Bit Mural Jam, Bell Box Murals, multiple StreetARToronto programs. These involved painting on traffic boxes and road barriers, fences and garage doors, to free or specified topics and colour schemes. I also love painting indoor murals that add personality and life to the space. With art, I hope to bring a bit of magic and wonder to those who come across it in their busy everyday lives.
From my background in construction and project management, I bring in a unique skillset, knowledge of working safely in industrial sites and communicating effectively with large groups of stakeholders, successfully planning and executing projects of varying scopes and timelines. I often work in collaboration with my professional artist husband Paul Dolgov, who has 15+ years of experience painting indoor (wall and ceiling) murals and is an eminent live painter. Working at Heights and Scissor Lift Operation certificates are available.

Bonus pic: my first mural from 2000s! This is a fragment of the wall my parents let me paint in our apartment. I've learned a lot about the process since then, but I still cherish the memory (you can see that the love for animals and painting large runs deep...)
