About me

In 2015, I discovered the art of mosaics — and immediately knew I had found my calling. I completed training, began creating commissioned works, participating in exhibitions, and leading courses and masterclasses.

In 2021, I earned a teaching diploma for adults. This allowed me to deepen my approach to instruction, focusing on the individual, their state, needs, and inspiration.

Today, I continue to create, teach and share — with love for mosaics and for people. My classes are a way to pause, listen to yourself, and express your inner world through form, color, and stone.

Hi! I am Tanya, a mosaic artist and instructor with nine years of experience from St. Petersburg.

DIPLOMAS & EXHIBITIONS

Gallery of works

I create works using various techniques, experimenting with forms and materials. I make pieces on commission, as gifts, or simply for the joy of creating.
My classes are a journey inward, a chance to express your emotions, recharge your energy, and fully experience the present moment

My
approach

For me, mosaic is an art full of meaning — a form of creativity that calms and warms the soul. With me, you'll gain not only a finished piece, but also the joy of the creative process.

  • Calm
    atmosphere
    Time for yourself, like a little retreat from everyday life. An opportunity to disconnect from worries and fully focus on colors, textures, and the creative process.
  • Creativity
    with self-care
    You’ll discover new facets of your creativity and craft beauty with your own hands: every detail of the mosaic will be carefully considered, and the finished piece will bring pride and joy.
  • Natural
    materials
    An opportunity to touch different surfaces and feel their texture and relief. Connect with nature through working with natural marble and smalti.
  • Community of
    like-minded people
    Here you’ll meet others who share your passion, appreciate the aesthetics of handmade work, exchange ideas, support each other, and inspire one another.

Mosaic
without limits

I actively participate in exhibitions in Saint Petersburg and Moscow, and I also travel extensively.

My routes take me through Israel, Italy, Turkey, and India, where I study inspiring ancient mosaics and frescoes in their natural settings: from the Byzantine treasures of Ravenna and the ancient floors of Pompeii to the unique collection of the Archaeological Museum in Naples and the grand Mosaic Museum in Gaziantep.

This continuous flow of experience and practice makes me not only a thoughtful artist but also a teacher with much to share with students: hands-on experience and a passion for the art.

The life of a mosaic artist is one of constant movement, exploration, and a rich dialogue with culture.

Your
reviews

Your impressions are the greatest reward. It means a lot to me to know what emotions you take away from the classes and what feelings arise for you on the path to exhibitions.

First of all, Tanya creates a true mosaic community around her: everyone shares their achievements and takes an interest in each other’s work. Secondly, Tanya is really great at finding the “key” to adult students, who are much harder to satisfy than children. You need to teach them while also respecting the sensitive soul of the artist. Tanya manages this wonderfully. I also really appreciate that the work takes place as a dialogue, a joint search for the best solution.



Evgeniya Zhikhareva, Moscow

Tanya guided me hand in hand for six months, step by step, and the miracle happened — everything worked out! Tanya helped with full attention and interest in my process continuously. She gently corrected mistakes and guided me. What always impresses me is how she includes your opinion in the process, even if you are a complete beginner. Her advice is given not in a preachy or directive way, but as a friendly exchange of ideas. This really helps; you start thinking for yourself and gain a deeper understanding of the process.

Lyudmila Babintseva, Stavropol

I took online classes with Tanya, and it was a real revelation for me to see how closely she can follow the process. It felt as if we were working side by side! I couldn’t imagine a more friendly atmosphere — any question, at any time. And if I need a boost of optimism, I write to Tanya or look at her mosaics inspired by the colors of India. It seems to me that there she achieved not only an amazing visual effect but also a kind of sound: everything either sounds joyful or whispers mysteriously.



Elena Radonezhskaya, Donetsk

I like Tanya’s approach — the calm of a samurai combined with the high skill of a teacher, able to explain both complex technical points and the subtleties of working with materials in simple words. Tanya patiently and thoroughly goes through each stage of creating a mosaic (from sketch to installation), helping to master both basic techniques and more advanced methods with natural stone and smalti. What is especially important is that Tanya knows how to find an individual approach for each student.


Anastasia Lukina, Moscow

Tanya’s precise and well-considered advice makes it easy to master the technical side of Roman-style mosaics, even remotely. Thanks to the aesthetic aspect of working with her — her attention to the beauty and expressiveness of the stone — her students simultaneously cultivate and develop their artistic taste, learning to see, feel, and understand mosaics.





Galina Sysolyatina, Kamensk-Uralsky

It’s always scary to start a new mosaic project or even just a mosaic, especially if you don’t have an art background. But you can be confident that with Tanya, everything will work out. Kindness, sensitivity, and attention to detail — that’s what I appreciated in Tanya’s approach. She knows how to be gentle and delicate while also being a demanding mentor. With her, there’s no cutting corners. The mosaic will be truly worthy.



Natalya Grosheva, Moscow

I am very glad that I ended up studying with Tanya. The course was held online. Her support, positivity, answers to all questions, and detailed explanations created a wonderful creative atmosphere and helped me fully immerse myself in the process. I hope we will work together on more creative projects and that I will discover many new things. I definitely recommend her to anyone who wants to create beautiful mosaics and explore this art form.



Lyudmila Shabalina, Krasnodar

I am grateful to the universe that back in 2019 I attended your botanical mosaic masterclass. Later, I also took your online course on Roman mosaics. Now, my collection already includes several large works created with your support! It seems to me that you are the most sincere, open, and helpful teacher! Your comments are always very valuable to me. Thank you for your support and responsiveness.
