The hobby of the master is to create paintings from straw. The main themes of the works are flora. Ms. Svetlana's paintings have their own palette, compositional options. Calm in color and deep in content, the work is immediately memorable. The straw technique conveys color transitions and gives a unique charm and attractiveness.

When asked what inspires the master to create, Ms. Svitlana answered: “My mother and father inspired me to work. My mother is an agronomist, my father is a farmer. Every day they met, and with them me, a little girl, a golden wheat field under the blue Ukrainian sky. More and more often I wondered how to convey the beauty of my native land? To convey all the beauty of nature, I chose an unusual material - straw. And she began to pass on it in the paintings spiked grain, and between them blue fluffy cornflowers.

Ms. Svitlana's works are periodically exhibited in the Milovsky District Museum of Local Lore, regional and district exhibitions, festivals.
