I’m going to post some of my sketches to keep active, and maybe motivate myself to make more art. I’ve looked back at my Instagram account from 2-3 years ago, and it’s nice to see the progress and how far I was able to get. That’s the purpose of these sketches, to have something to look back at as I progress with my studies. It simply doesn’t work if I keep them in a pile at home and never look at them ^^; I hope you’ll enjoy this journey with me!

At first, I only wanted to post these to Instagram. However, I remembered that I don’t really have much control over it. If something happens to my account, it’s gone! Therefore, I’m going to post these sketches to my blog as well. So keep in mind, that you may view them wherever it’s more convenient for you!

Hi! My name is Oksana Ossipov, and I’m a visual artist and photographer. I was born in Ukraine and currently reside in the area of Dallas, Texas. My formal education includes a BFA in Digital Media Art from San Jose State University. After moving to Texas, I started to focus on my fine art skills and figurative art in particular. I studied for 5 years under Michael Mentler at the Society of Figurative Arts. Through my life, I’ve also acquired a multitude of skills that include web development, sculpting, photography, art studio and business management, and baking awesome blueberry scones! I’ve been trying to fully devote myself to the art over the past few years. I’m trying to learn and practice as much as I can. However, the workshop, class, and art supply costs present a certain financial challenge. If you like my work and want to support me, I would truly appreciate it! I have a shop full of artworks and creations, but even just sharing my art or social media pages would help a lot. Thank you so much!
