Tanya Shymko was born in 1983 in Kyiv. After finishing secondary school, she received a higher economic education at KNUTD in 2005.
But her true vocation has always been painting , evidenced by the huge stack of albums and works from early childhood.
During her school years, she attended classes in Petrykivka painting (Ukrainian folk art), which had a significant impact on her creativity - a love for working out small details and experiments with transitional brushstrokes.
