Hello, I am Natalia Turina ( former Vidyakina), artist and author from New Zealand. On this website you can find my paintings & drawings, also, children's picture books.

I mostly paint emotions into subjects, created my own mixed an impressionist with semi abstract style. I love vibrant colours and complex, textured, layered approach, that gives special effects to artworks. People say my art reflects joy, happiness, giving a visual healing.
