Inna Kulagina, from Tashkent, Uzbekistan, received her B.A./M.A in Painting and Art Education in 1994 from The Art College of the Republic of Uzbekistan. Now living in the United States, Inna works as an artist and an art education teacher. 

Inna creates dynamic, modern portraits which are almost impressionistic. This might seem like a contradiction in term--portraits being less than a clear representation of the person being painted? Inna painted my daughter, Louise with blue hair. Another portrait has a house behind it, another a little boat in front.

Inna takes a little creative liberty, but in the end, the result is unquestionably the person it is intended to be.
