Since childhood, I've been fascinated by plants—touching their leaves, watching them grow, simply observing everything alive around me. I remember the joy of drawing and making up stories with my sister, and later discovering the world through Jacques Cousteau's books and countless nature encyclopedias. This constant curiosity about the living world shaped my unique artistic path.

My unique perspective is built on two degrees: one in Biology and another in Landscape Design. Over 20 years of practical experience has given me a deep understanding of living systems. This has formed a strong foundation for my transition into visual art.

I create more than just illustrations; I craft visual solutions that feel authentic and carry a unique blend of botanical precision, emotional richness, and cultural sensitivity. This is the essence of my philosophy: "Illustration with Roots."

My studio, DASHAGLASHA (named after my daughter and me, reflecting our shared creativity), is a bridge between genuine art and business goals. Every illustration I create isn't just a picture; it's the materialization of an important emotion, designed to resonate deeply and last with your brand.

My greatest joy is helping thoughtful brands and creative partners tell their stories with true visual integrity. I absolutely love creating visuals that not only look stunning but also build a deep, meaningful connection with your audience. Whether it's a captivating illustration for a luxury product line or a unique pattern enriching an interior space, I'm in my element! I truly believe in transforming your ideas into visual assets that evoke emotion, build authenticity, and ultimately contribute to your brand's lasting growth.
