Golden Dreams

Rain is a classically-trained, symbolist painter with a passion for dark surrealism, utilizing allegorical and at times provocative imagery to convey ideas about the more elusive aspects of the human condition.

After immigrating to the United States from Ukraine in 1999, she continued pursuing an education in fine art, first at LaGuardia High School of Music & Art, and subsequently at School of Visual Arts. During the student years, she was influenced by renowned mentors, such as Steven Assael and Donato Giancola, whose guidance helped develop a singular focus, diligent work ethic, and an expanded vision of where she could explore her ideas.

Presently, Rain lives in New York and exhibits alongside her idols, both domestically and internationally.
