My art journey began in Russia with a mermaid sketch at age six — the moment that sparked a lifelong love of art (and Disney).

From early art schools in Moscow to studying Illustration and Design at California College of the Arts in San Francisco, I followed that passion with everything I had.

After graduating, I landed a dream role at Disney, where I deepened my creative voice and launched Seen & Felt by Adelya.

Later, while working in tech, I craved more alignment between what I did and who I was — so I returned to what I love most: creating meaningful, emotionally resonant art.

Today, I make art full-time — from live painting at weddings and events to custom heirlooms that honor your home, memories, and milestones.

My work lives in homes around the world — as a reminder of the moments and places that made you feel most alive.
