Drawing her inspiration from everyday life, Anastasia Khmelevska explores the limits of imagination, bringing to life the magic and wonder that only art can achieve. As an avid fan of both traditional watercolor painting and digital art, she draws on years of experience to craft magical scenes, adorable characters, breathtaking landscapes, and anything her heart desires. Anastasia is often found playing the guitar, getting lost in a good book, and fighting post-apocalyptic monsters from her video game collections at her home in Lviv, Ukraine.
