Welcome to my website
I am Natalia Vidyakina, an artist and author, expressing my art in different forms.
There are paintings & drawings in various media, also a creation of art books
and children's picture books.
I am a Russian-born New Zealander. My partner and I live in the Wairarapa,
Wellington region, on a lifestyle block (a small farm).
Surrounding us the beautiful nature, the wildlife and the farm pets are so inspiring!
I like travelling, always holding a notebook and camera, recording and sketching, impressions.
"Your work is always such a joy", telling people about my artworks.
That what I keep in my mind when painting joyful, beautiful images with loving vibes.
I believe in positive thinking and visualization of happy images to attract them into our life.
My art teacher is only nature, where I am learning and get inspired.
I created my own style and enjoy painting and writing,
I have held five Solo Exhibitions in 2016, 2017, 2018, 2018, 2020
