Meet Regina

Artist. Scientist. Teacher. Observer of lemons and life.

Regina has painted and drawn since the age of seven. Her journey spans classical art training in Russia, a PhD in veterinary pathology, and years of research in the company of microscope - learning how to see both the visible and invisible.

After years in veterinary science, Regina returned to art with a deeper question: Why is art important? Her answer: Because art is how we express what cannot be said. It is how we connect - across cultures, ages, and species.

Today, she brings her full self - scientist, artist, philosopher - to the classroom. Regina treats children with deep respect, believing they are fully-formed individuals with thoughts worth hearing and imagination worth supporting. In her classroom, students feel safe to experiment, reflect, and grow. They not only learn artistic techniques, but methodically analyze art subjects in search for essential elements, a skill broadly applicable to still life or a portrait.
