Ekaterina is a visual artist, educator, and is the founder of The Art Cabin. She studied Fine Arts and received a strong formal education in classic forms of fine art. Her teaching approach is open, joyful, and encouraging.

The idea for The Art Cabin began with simple art play-dates for her son when he was five years old. Ekaterina wanted to create a space where children could learn basic art skills, notice creativity in everyday life, and express themselves freely through colour, shape, and form. Interest grew quickly, and what began as a small community activity soon developed into a growing art school for local families.

Having travelled widely and worked with children in several countries, including Denmark, Spain, and Russia, Ekaterina brings a broad and thoughtful perspective to art education. Her experience as an au pair, English teacher, and private tutor helped shape a teaching style that is structured yet playful, supportive yet creatively freeing.

Ekaterina believes that art can have a powerful impact on confidence, wellbeing, and self-expression. Her goal is to make art feel accessible and achievable for both children and adults, creating a warm environment where students feel encouraged to experiment, learn new skills, and take pride in their creative progress.
