Hi, I’m Irina — a Digital Fine Artist and Photographer with over 20 years of experience in still life, travel, and landscape photography. My art is inspired by nature and flowers, and my goal is to bring joy, harmony, and beauty into your home.

My passion for flowers began in childhood, during a summer internship where I learned to grow, dry, and arrange them. This love has stayed with me throughout my life and continues to shape my work.

Originally from Almaty, Kazakhstan, I now call Melbourne home, where I live with my talented husband and three kids. We share a love for travel and adventure, from hidden corners of the world to breathtaking hot-air balloon rides over Melbourne and beyond.

I’m honored to have received several prestigious awards, including the Bluethumb Art Prize, Unearthed Art Prize, and The EPSON International Pano Awards. These accolades inspire me to continue exploring and pushing boundaries in my work.

Each piece of my art is crafted with care, from brainstorming and trial shoots to meticulous post-production and printing on premium materials. My philosophy is simple: to create art that enhances spaces inspires happiness, and feels personal to each viewer.

Thank you for being part of this journey. I’m excited to share my work with you! 💫✨
