It is difficult to draw a clear dividing line between the author's graphics and painting – one flows into another, and, at times, they are almost inseparable. Drawing and graphics distinguish the creative manner of the artist by the refinement, exquisite linearity and decorativeness.

The object of the artist's images is the world of human emotions and relationships.
Among her creative works, prominent place is occupied by the deep respect and admiration for a woman. “Even a woman, as a form, if you abstractly look at her, is so perfect that you can make any plastic beauty. And, thanks to colour and rhythms you can add any emotions. Filling of this form can be endless,” the artist says.

Laureate of the Prize "Line of Light", Triennial "PREchysta", Chernivtsi (2011), laureate of the II Prize of Triennial of Graphics (Kyiv, 2006), laureate of the II Prize of the Exhibition-Contest named after H.
