Honorary Artist of the Arts of Europe — which sounds roughly like "queen, but without the crown and with a paintbrush instead." She belongs to so many artists' unions that if each membership came with a cat, she'd be running a shelter. But the sea in her paintings smells of salt and freedom — verified across 90-plus exhibitions from Moscow to Sevastopol.
