Katerina
My name is Katerina Bolshakova, but many people know me as Katy Stone. I am a practicing psychologist, trauma therapist, and I am also an art teacher based in Ukraine.
Since childhood I have been fond of drawing.
Many times, drawing has helped me through difficult and very painful periods in my life.
I believe It has helped me process and resolve
difficult situations and contributed to help me make the right decisions.
It has been a way for me to express pain and joy - especially at the moment. As I write this I am living in the midst of war - whilst Russia is at war with Ukraine.
For me the creation of art is a way of expressing our perception of the world around us, as well as an opportunity
to tell about the depth and diversity of the world inside us.
