My Bio
My work is autobiographical, sitters being close family or friends in their everyday situations; with a focus on the lighting associated with that particular domestic context. Working from life and photographs, I record my experiences and emotions in response to the relationship between artist and sitter. Through my obsession with colour and Chiaroscuro lighting effects combined with techniques employed by masters like Rembrandt and more recently Gerhard Richter, I have endeavoured to create my own sense of originality.

A Yorkshire based artist, I successfully completed my Contemporary Art Practice BA (Hons) at University of Leeds in 2010 and was the only student to have a sell out final degree show. Over the past five years my work has featured in exhibitions and competitions around the UK, including The National Open Art Competition, Chichester. I also have paintings hung in private and public collections such as Oxford University (Lady Margret Hall).

Current Residence: York
Favourite genre of music: Something I can dance to!
Favourite photographer: Annie Leibovitz, she is unbelievable! And my sister Evie Ostapjuk
Favourite style of art: Realism, Photorealism, and anything else that shows skill.
Personal Quote: Practise what you know, and it will help to make clear what now you do not know. (Rembrandt)

Rembrandt, S. Palmer, Freud, Cezanne, Turner, Monet, Renoir, Saville... etc

YOu are very Welcome :D
Hey Hannah, nice to see you :D
Hey Lauren, didn't realise who you were at first (LittlebirdRen) I always keep my name lol. :D
I've had this account since I was 17, but I usually keep my own name for other online accounts (which makes sense.. dont know why I didnt think of it back then!)
I always tried to think of a nice/decent other name, but when it comes to words I have the imagination of a dead goose lol. :)
