Yuliya Ward
|
Meet Yuliya Ward: a global artist and art advocate hailing from Kazakhstan. As an ambassador of Eurasian Creative Guild London, she bridges cultures and artistic visions. Her journey led her to Malaysia, earning a Master's Degree with a thesis on the "Art Market in Malaysia and its Attractiveness for Investors."
In 2019, Yuliya's path took a turn as she became an Art Gallery owner after meeting her husband. Tragedy struck in 2021, pushing her to relocate to the USA with her child. Undeterred, she pursued further education, exploring the correlation between psychology, financial success, and self-esteem in artists. Yuliya's impact goes beyond academia. Her article "Problems of self-esteem of gifted individuals in artistic creativity" showcases her thought leadership. She established the Art Mandala Workshop, a sanctuary for creative expression. Through watercolor Mandala painting, she guides teens and adults on a journey of self-discovery. Yuliya's prowess isn't confined to art; she's an entrepreneur and art educator. Her mastery spans painting, graphic design, and architecture, culminating in a Digital Art course. Yuliya Ward's story is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit intertwined with a passion for art and learning. |
