General Meeting

August 10th, 2026

FALC General Meeting, at 10185 N Stelling Rd, Cupertino, CA 95014 Quinlan Community Center Craft room and Zoom Meeting

Monday, August 10th 2026 7:00 PM - 9 PM

ARTIST : I started painting using the watercolor technique when I was six years old, and I continue to develop my style through years of passionate self-development. As a self-taught artist, I'm always in search of new inspiration 

STYLE : My artworks are a unique mix of media, including classic watercolor and 24k gold gilding, acrylic on canvas and embroidery, and a variety of digital art 

COLLECTIONS : When it comes to watercolors, I prefer to stick to a classic style, using proven techniques and nature-inspired colors - getting all my inspiration from the beauty of California, US, and Ukrainian nature
