In 2019, I started drawing to lift my spirits, and I came across a book called "You'll Start Drawing in 30 Days." It sounded a little too sure of itself, so I thought, why not give it a shot?

The book was great, and I still love to draw! One day, I thought it would be fun to create a mascot, a character that looks like me, so I could share different situations through my illustrations. 

I was watching the TV series Brooklyn-Nine-Nine at the time, and my husband noticed the funny name of the pigeon a police officer named Polly from the show. That’s how Polly the pigeon came to be. 

This is Pigeon Polly's very first drawing. I really love New Year and Christmas! They always bring a bit of magic to my heart. These joyful celebrations remind me of Olivier salad, tangerines, and the cozy warmth of home. And, of course, the lights, what would we do without their glow?

One of my special interests is studying. It all started when I earned a bachelor's degree in human resources management. Although I have never worked in that field and now have ten years of loans to repay for that education, I consider it a valuable experience, despite a few less-than-stellar decisions. But nice watercolor sketch, don’t you think?

Money isn't my primary focus, but I can't deny the value it brings in terms of fulfilling my needs. I genuinely appreciate good food, healthcare, housing, and, naturally, art supplies. You’re not judging me for that, are you?

My favorite season is winter. At least, it used to be. Recently, I've started finding something pleasant in all seasons. In the summer, I love drawing on the beach and walking around the city a lot. I'm a city soul. 

I won't say anything here.

Have you ever thought about what our life will look like in 20 years?

How do you unwind after a long day? I love old TV shows. Friends, The Big Bang Theory, Superstore, Parks and Recreation, Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Everybody Hates Chris - 

I can watch them over and over again hundreds of times. 

And if you're wondering, I'm Phoebe, a little Ross and Chandler, and sometimes Amy from Brooklyn.

I love Christmas time. 2024.

Time passes, yet I remain unchanged. 2025.

Coffee, trains, vintage radios, and autumn journeys are my sources of inspiration. I can't help but wonder, is there a stapler hiding in that jelly?
