Bonus 10 Questions with Katya Belaia for Art day

I thought I'd do something special for Monday's Art day. I decided to do a "10 Questions" with the artist. Today's artist is Katya Belaia. She is a Ukrainian born painter now living in England. She graduated from Goldsmith's College in London and is currently working on her Master's at Courtauld Institute of Art. The first time I looked at her paintings I was very impressed, Katya has a very strong mixture of technical ability and creativity. She joined The Iandi Art Movement earlier this year which made us all very happy. She has incredible talent that sets her apart from most contemporary artists which is great for all you art collectors, get her work while you can still afford it!
