Anita Zotkina is a self-taught oil painter originally from Odessa, Ukraine, and now based in Massachusetts. She has been drawing since early childhood and continues to be inspired by the folklore and fairy tales she grew up with. Her paintings explore the emotional and symbolic lives of animals, people, and nature, where familiar creatures become characters with their own personalities. Working in oil, she combines vivid color with decorative details to create paintings that are both playful and contemplative.
