Oksana Burr was born in Volgograd, Russia. She came to the United StatesI for the first time many years ago as an exchange student where she also met my future husband.  Burr permanently moved to the United States in 2001 where she currently lives with her family in Clifton Park, NY.  

Burr’s passion for art started when she took art classes in high school in Veliky Novgorod, Russia.  She quickly became interested in trying different art techniques and was grateful to her art teachers who instilled the patience and dedication that art required.  She mainly focused on portraits and people figures inspired by traditional masters’ works of art.  At the present time I’m strongly interested in growing my passion for art.  I love to explore new art mediums and discover artist communities as it helps me to grow as an artist and deepen my knowledge of art skills.
