Margarita Kazerskaya
In my professional journey, I combined two passions - love for nature and art. I have always been inspired by the natural beauty of plants and their grace, which led me to study watercolor botany. Since then, the brush and paints have become my faithful companions.
Inspired by nature, I strive to convey this inspiring energy to my students. With an art teaching background and over five years of teaching experience, my goal is to not only impart knowledge, but also inspire students to be creative and express themselves through the art of watercolor botany.
