Svetlana Romashchenko

Artist Bio

Originally trained at the Taganrog Children’s Art School named after S.I. Blonskaya in Russia, I continued my artistic development through courses in mixed painting techniques with Olga Krugova and advanced wet felting with several renowned Russian masters. Over time, my practice expanded to include eco-printing and electroforming, opening new ways to merge organic textures with sculptural form. My art grows directly from nature — rooted in the wild, in the raw and untamed. Moss, bark, leaves, and metal become not only materials but living voices in my work. I see felting, eco-printing, and electroforming as ways of collaborating with nature, allowing hidden patterns and energies to surface. My works have been featured in numerous exhibitions and fairs in Russia and Canada, and I have conducted felting workshops for both children and adults. Now, as part of my creative journey in Canada, I continue to explore the dialogue between craft, nature, and the unseen worlds within them.
