MEET : An amazing self-taught watercolor and oil artist. Born in Ukraine, she obtained her bachelor's degree in interior design before relocating to the United States when she was 21. Nastiya's parents, who are also artists, sparked her interest in painting when she was a child, and she has been exploring various painting techniques since the age of 10. Nastiya G's paintings have been exhibited in galleries and art shows nationally and internationally and has brought both a wonderfully fun parody along with serious perspective of Anime, Harry Potter, villains and much more to the art community. She has also worked on a number of public art installations in various locations throughout the United States. Nastiya will be autographing her work and adding paint embellishments to canvases all times and each day of the event.
