Since childhood, Alla has enjoyed sketching and doodling ni the margins of her notebooks, always surprised and sometimes delighted by this act of creation. About two years ago, she stumbled upon pastels, whicn her good friend Jerry bequeathed to her a beautiful wooden boxed set of pastels. Opening that lid for the first time proved to be a magic moment in Alla's artistic journey. Ever since, she has been working exclusively with this, to her, perfect medium.
Alla likes painting landscapes and portraits of both people and animals. She does it, mostly, for her own enjoyment, but recently has expanded to doing work on commission.
