The master considers painting in ancient traditions of Mstiora to be the most important aspect of her pieces, Marina is sure that work on a miniature can be never regarded as finished. Her art works differ from others by very detailed execution of all compositions' elements and by preservation of traditional painting (N.P. Klykov). Marina believes she is always in search of her personal art techniques. The artist hopes her pieces will be remembered by precision of their drawings and execution.
In her free time Marina likes to sew, to knit, and to embroider.
She wishes her admirers to continue to follow her creative work and to acquire her pieces.
