She uses found natural materials as a medium for her deeply imaginative and often very delicate artworks. Her work has always been inspired by nature: organic forms, flowers, seasons, land, water, sky.

Irina is an incredibly talented, hardworking artist. Her studio was a real treasure for me, strewn with flowers, leaves, and scraps of interesting natural materials. Of course for during this long time my style and priorities have changed many times. But I am staying true to natural materials. Mixed media techniques give much more possibilities in realization my projects. Illustration from plants possesses other wonderful thing. It is a special energy of nature. Once I understand that I possess more opportunities as it seems.
My art is a continual source of personal development. Creating is what makes me the happiest, and it’s very exciting to know that I can make my living doing what I love."
