Yelena graduated from Kazakh State University, Art and Design Faculty in 1995. She has been painting professionally for the last 15 years with clients reaching as far as Kazakhstan, Russia, Belgium, Arabic Emirates and Canada.

Yelena's work reflects her passion for both art and life, it is full of colours, texture and emotions. Reflecting on her travels, and inspired by beauty around her, she has built up a diverse portfolio and developed a unique signature style. Yelena works in different techniques but her preference is oil on canvas.

She presently lives and works in Toronto, Canada.
