Bead artist Svetlana Ovintsovskaya lives in St.Petersburg, Russia. She studied art at school, and took private lessons in painting. In addition, finished sewing school, and dreamed of becoming a fashion designer. However, she became an engineer after graduating from the Leningrad Technical University.
She found bead-work very interesting, “to make a picture on the neck, which will see hundreds of people in the streets, better than hang picture on the wall!”. In jewelry she prefers animalistic direction: elephants, tigers, lizards, birds, bugs and butterflies. And they all live in the form of brooches or pendants, small masterpieces of jewelry, surrounded by multicolored beads, pearls and natural stones. Indeed, her favorite marine theme is just inexhaustible: colorful fish, crabs, starfish, shells, and mermaids …. Boundless beauty and many ideas for creativity!
