Tatiana Rusakova is a Ukrainian illustrator, watercolorist, artist, and plant lover. For the last 5 years Tatiana worked as an botanical illustrator, collaborated with different herbalists and for the last 15 years she worked as a painter, art teacher, owned an art studio and organized multiple art workshops. More than a decade she participated in 4 solo and more than 10 group exhibitions.
Deeply inspired by the wild flowers and herbs of her home country, Tatiana made botanical illustrations of her main focus. Her works are characterised by bright and clean colors and by ability to bring life into her illustrations. She dedicated herself to creating more honest art by using traditional mediums (watercolors, oils) but also always seeking new possibilities for challenges. In her botanical illustrations she aims to show the vulnerability and fragility of life and at the same time strength and power that is hidden behind it. Her main interest is visual and aesthetic storytelling which she applies for various purposes and frameworks both in illustrations and paintings.
