About me

I was lucky to meet the real Teachers, tireless popularizer Ukrainan graphic culture, folk mistress: Kharlova Valentine Havrylivna, now Proffesor, and Evgena Ivanovycha Pilugina , a student of the legendary Marfa Tymchenko. A low bow to you! At fourteen years old first recognition - second place in the international competition of children`s art in Japan, student works were on exhebition of arts and crafts in Kiev, then repeated participation in the festival "Singing Field"... My works are interested by publichers, that's how I tried myself in illustration, were published series "Taes Bereginya" several books of publishing house "Klumba."
From time tо time I made to order exterior and interrior design of premises in the folk style. But the main thing for me has been always working with children, twenty-five years I was brought up artist n every child who has a brush in his hands. Currently living and working in Zaporizhazhia Here are my fri

Про мене
Малюю з дитинства. Пощастило народитися в сім'ї з багаторічною традицією шанування прекрасного. Пощастило зустріти Справжніх Вчителів, невтомних популяризаторів українскої образотворчої культури: народну майстриню Харлову Валентину Гаврилівну, нині професорку, Пілюгіна Євгена Івановича, учня легендарної Марфи Тимченко. Низький вам уклін!
У чотирнадцять років перше визнання - друге місце в міжнароднім конкурсі дитячої творчості в Японії, студентські роботи потрапили на виставку декоративно-прикладного мистецтва в Києві, потім багаторазова участь в фестивалі "Співоче поле"...
Мої роботи зацікавили книговидавців, отак я спробувала себе в ілюструванні, вийшли в світ серія "Казаки бергині", декілька книжок видавничого дому "Клумба". Час від часу виконувала на замовлення зовнішній та внутрішній дизайн приміщень в народному стилі.
Але головною для мне завжди була робота з дітьми, двадцять п'ять років я виховувала художника в кожній дитині, яка брала пензель до рук. Зараз підписую свої роботи псевдонімом Kesan, раніше була відома як Оксана Пелехата.
