So, here I am) As I used to introduce myself in social media - California-based artist Lily Kalinsky (it's my stage name, because no one can pronounce my last name correctly) I'm an artist/graphic designer, very skilled/experienced in computer graphic/visualization.

Custom people/pet portraits, my art prints, interior paintings.
Some time ago one agency contacted me and hired me - I got a large order for Sofie Turner (Sansa Stark from "Game of Thrones") and Joe Jonas (Jonas Brothers music band) wedding. I did portraits for their close friends (Priyanka Chopra, Maisie Williams, Nick Jonas, Kevin Jonas etc) and relatives. Unfortunately, I can't share these portraits, since I signed an NDA, have $1 million dollars fine in case I break it.
Also, I painted a lot of custom portraits for celebrities (Kaley Cuoco "The Big Bang Theory", Emeraude Toubia), producers, tv hosts. You can find their portraits and other works in my Instagram, FB and TikTok (click on icon)
So, my works didn't go unnoticed and one day I got a call from KTLA5 channel with an offer to be featured on the "Morning News" special Christmas show.
Also, I'd like to note my long-standing friendship and cooperation with word renowned artist/mosaic artist Mia Tavonatti.
I worked for her on many projects, both private and municipal.
For example, on this project - Baptismal Font and Pool at Holy Trinity Catholic Church in Ladera Ranch, CA
As you know, as I said before, I'm responsible for my life with kids. We are totally separated (with my ex) and no one depends on each other. So I need to work a lot to cover all expenses (rent, car, all) I do my best to make my kids life interesting, calm and protected.
We spend a lot of time on the beach...
Hiking...
We go to museums, art galleries, exhibitions, travel...
Showing the world... As a huge fan of Europe, we traveled together with my daughter to Germany and Czech Republic
Bottom line, I have an important mission - I make the world more beautiful and people happier :) And would like to stay on the bright side (you know what I mean)
