Welcome to my Spirit, I am Ekaterina Armstrong, nee Ganchukova I am a Russian Artist who has been painting and a teacher of Art for over 15 years in my home City of Pyatigorsk, Russia where I was inspired every morning as I looked out of my window on a clear winters morning and see the twin peaks of Mt Elbrus in the Caucasus Mountains.

I moved over to the United Kingdom in 2004 initially living in the South West, I now live in Coventry and I am happy to be closer to the inspirations of the Lake District landscapes and to explore the peaks and valleys of Wales.

Ekaterina is a modern artist and all artwork within her fine art galleries is original artwork.

Russian Art and the Russian Artist has a distinct style from their Western counterparts and thus the interest in Russian Art continues to grow. The market in Russian Art has only been open for the last 15 years since the days of Glasnost. The life of the Russian artist is totally dedicated to hard work. Training in the education system required total commitment, talent and perseverance, therefore much was to be gained by achievement. The role of the artist was held in high regard by both the government and the greater society.
