About Elena
My education:
I have a Bachelor's degree in Architecture from the Novosibirsk State Academy of Architecture and Fine Arts. And I studied MFA Fine Arts at the School of Visual Arts in New York.
My teaching experience in NYC:
Since 2016 I have been giving private art lessons at my studio. I help students improve their drawing and painting skills, as well as to develop a unique style. From 2016 to 2019 I worked as an Art teacher at Creatively Wild Art Studio, in Brooklyn. I taught students ranging from toddlers to teens and adults, working with drawing, painting, mixed media, found object art, and collage. I gave private lessons to students who worked on their art portfolios. In 2019 I taught Elementary and Middle school at Immaculate Conception School in Manhattan.
My art career:
I have exhibited both nationally and internationally including at the Museum of Contemporary Art Erarta (MCAE) in Saint-Petersburg, the Art Center WINZAVOD, in Moscow, the State Museum of Novosibirsk, Tomsk, and Kemerovo in Russia, and Nord Art 2010, Rendsburg, Germany. I had three solo shows in NYC - “Urban Reflections” at Erarta Gallery (2013), “Woman in Landscape” at Space 776 Gallery (2022), and “Songs of Summer” at The Untitled Space Gallery (2023). In NYC, I showed my work in group exhibitions at SFA Projects Gallery, The Royal Gallery in NYC, as well as at Trenton Artwork Center, NJ, and Feminist Biennial, Woman Made Gallery, Chicago.

Elena was amazing. She was incredibly patient and thoughtful. She was wonderfully imaginative coming up with new ideas and had a lot to offer in teaching painting. Can’t recommend enough.
Elena was very knowledgeable and friendly. I appreciated her patience and understanding. She was able to provide a nice demonstration which helped me along. Now I feel more comfortable moving forward with my painting. It is my first oil painting ever. But Elena's explanation helped me make it!
I just had my first painting lesson with Elena, and it was a super cool experience! Elena is very professional, knowledgeable, and friendly. We first discussed what I wanted to learn and she offered several options for a lesson. She explained color theory and how to mix colors and use pallet knives in a very clear way. She is very focused and attentive and working with her allows for a fun time as well. Her guidance was consistent and led me to a great result. I couldn’t believe what I painted for my first attempt at oil painting. She set up a comfortable environment in her studio and it was inspiring to see an artist work and use different tools to create. I was very happy with the entire experience. Highly recommended!
Elena is both a skilled artist and a dedicated teacher. She is responsible and takes her role seriously, always ensuring that her students are on the right track. Elena's kindness makes her approachable, and it's evident she genuinely cares about her students' needs. She listens attentively and provides guidance tailored to what I specifically require. Conversations with Elena are enjoyable, and she consistently creates a positive learning environment. Through her direction, I've felt more confident in my oil painting endeavors. Her commitment to teaching goes beyond just technical skills; she thinks deeply about how to support each individual's artistic journey. I appreciate the valuable time and insights she offers in each lesson. I can comfortably recommend Elena to anyone looking for a thoughtful and reliable art teacher.
