Nadezhda Strelkina comes from a line of miniature artists. Her father is Viktor Semyonovich Burbyshev, a highly accomplished Fedoskino artist. The Burbyshev family has a long history of miniature painting. Her great grandfather, Zakhar Timofeevich Burbyshev (1863-1930) was famous for running a small paper-mache factory in the town of Zhostovo. He moved with his son Semyon to Fedoskino in 1929. Semyon was Nadezhda's grandfather. Here is a chart of their genealogy, based on several different lacquer art history sources:
Nadezhda Krestovskaya talks about Strelkina on page 14 of her introduction to Fedoskino Lacquer Miniatures:
Nadezhda Strelkina (Burbysheva) evinces keen interest in old Russian costume in her lacquers. Her "see-through" painting on gold leaf captures the beauty of gold-embroidered boyar attire. Mrs. Strelkina must have inherited the knack of using gold and silver, which look prominent and simultaneously delicate: at the turn of the century her great-grandfather ran a lacquer workshop at Zhostovo and was famous for his painted silver cigar-boxes and goblets.
