Olga Timofeyeva, the creator of this art book, was born in the Siberian region of the former Soviet Russia. She spent her childhood in a tiny remote village living in harsh conditions with her grandmother who was exiled there by Soviet officials.

By 1977, she and her 10 year daughter, Tatyana, had become refugees leaving Russia for the USA. Here in New York, Olga was employed as a systems analyst when, at the age of 54, she was diagnosed with cancer. While a patient at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC), she attended a watercolor workshop where she held a paint brush for the first time.

Since then painting has become her passion which has helped her to restore both body and spirit. She has participated in a few exhibitions in NYC.

Olga currently lives in Forest Hills, New York, with her beloved dog, Kroshka. She enjoys spending time with her three grandchildren.

Ariella, David and Sasha are her inspirations.

Every childhood has its own blueprint of memories. Some memories are stored. Some memories vanish. Some memories are kept alive through the word; some, through music or painting.

Olga’s childhood has inspired her to record her memories through paintings. Her canvases are filled with scenes of Siberia’s snowy landscapes, village life nestled by birch trees, forests, lakes, and above all, her admiration for divine beauty and the infinite wisdom of Mother Nature.
