Vessel “Colorful dreams. Earth sprouts”

Lake Placid, New York

Born in the Ural Mountains, I love the energy of earth and nature. After training in fashion design and in art education, I taught art in Russia to children for years, thriving also in the freshness of their eyes on the world. For my design work, I’ve made dresses for special occasions and costumes for springtime festivals – the more fanciful the better. Joyful colors and tales of fantasy…

In the US, I started to blend all these roots of my artistic feelings into felting. Working with wool… wool for me is a living material that has its own soul, that helps me create my rainbow of compositions. The color palette for each is chosen much like in an oil or watercolor painting, with each tuft of wool laid down just like a brushstroke.

Felt is a living material. The variety of materials, techniques and subtlety of colors – to express my feelings – you can express absolutely everything in it, from nature and an uplifting spirit, you can wear it, and display it with flair, as a living body of color.

Now I am in a creative search, because the possibilities of felt seem unlimited.

This link is in Russian, but recently, several pieces of my feltwork took prizes in the international competition “Felt Inspiration 2020” ( https://felt-inspiration.com/page64 …and Find “Elena” in this webpage)
