Natalia Mikhova
I was born on September 13, 1976 in Bessarabia, in the south of Ukraine (until 1991 the territory of the USSR) in a family of teachers.
During my studies at the secondary school, I graduated with honors from a children's art school.
After the 9th grade I went to Odessa. There I entered a medical college, but after a year and a half I realized that this is not quite what I would like to do in life. But I had to finish my studies and get a diploma. Since the medical career did not work out, I worked in children's institutions, taught fine arts outside of class. I moved to Kiev, Ukraine. I got married, gave birth to a daughter. Experiencing the constant need for self-improvement and self-education, I began to study psychology and business. Over time, I took up the post of manager in a children's center and director of a children's dance group. In order to avoid misunderstandings, I finished accounting courses at school in a market economy and worked as an accountant at the same time. The need for new and fresh knowledge made me enter the Izmail Pedagogical University (Izmail, Ukraine) for the specialty of fine arts and design and I returned back to teaching. I taught children from two years old and adults up to 50 years. Two years after graduation, feeling monotony and monotony, I entered the magistracy again, on the specialty "Management of educational institutions" (Kiev, Ukraine). After receiving the next diploma, I moved to Bulgaria.
At the moment I live in Sofia. I teach fine arts for children and adults, teach Russian in foreign language courses and translate. And in my free time I have been drawing with pleasure for many years. In exhibitions, I did not participate, until recently and did not think to sell the picture. But accidentally stumbled upon an article on the Internet, how recently found an 80-year-old grandmother who died in her house. Neighbors noticed that she had not left her house for a long time and called the police. When the police came into the house, the grandmother-shopaholic was dead for a week, and the whole house, from floor to ceiling, was filled with things. The article made me think and I decided to start selling my works, so that in my time they did not find me buried under the pictures.
To date, my paintings are in the galleries and souvenir shops of the city. I'm married, my husband is a screenwriter and director. Daughter is a designer in graphic, web, ui/ux.
