ABOUT THE ARTIST

Hello and welcome!

I’m Diana, a professional artist from Ukraine, and the heart behind DrawWithDi – a creative space where I offer one-of-a-kind handmade oil paintings designed to bring beauty and meaning into your life.

Art has been a part of me for as long as I can remember – from early childhood sketches to professional growth through years of study and creative exploration. I hold a degree in fine arts from the Trush Lviv College of Decorative and Applied Arts and the Lviv National Academy of Arts. In 2016, I even had the joy of performing ‘light’ art on “Ukraine’s Got Talent.”

But oil painting has always been my true passion – a way to preserve the fleeting beauty of the world through the skill of human hands.

How the journey began

More Art Projects

After co-founding the DRAWandCARE shop in 2020 with my incredibly talented Ukrainian artist friends – where we paint custom pet portraits to support animal shelters – I felt inspired to open my own shop to share my personal work. DrawWithDi is a reflection of that dream: to create soulful, timeless pieces that bring joy, whether as heartfelt gifts or cherished additions to your home.

Both projects have blossomed into thriving Etsy shops, warmly supported by kind customers and appreciated by those who truly cherish handmade art.

I also share my journey on Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube — a cozy little blog where you can get to know the artist behind your artwork better and peek at how the creative process unfolds. Come be part of our community!

Handmade Always Comes First

AI Could Never Replace the Creative Soul

In an era of increasing automation, I deeply believe in the irreplaceable magic of traditional, handmade art. Every painting I create is 100% original and crafted entirely by hand with love, patience, and care. This hands-on approach ensures each piece carries a unique soul and personal touch that machines simply cannot replicate.

Beyond the painting itself, I offer handcrafted framing options in elegant finishes, tailored customization to bring your vision to life, and worldwide shipping so art can reach you wherever you are. I’m always excited to discuss custom orders and collaborate closely with you.

Thank you for stopping by — I’m so happy you’re here and look forward to creating for you!
Together, we celebrate the timeless beauty of art made by human hands in a world that’s moving ever faster. Let’s keep true art alive.

With love from Ukraine,
Your Di
