Hi, I am Mary Bobson (Mariia Boborenko).
I was born in 1975 and live in Stavropol, Russia. I have been drawing for as long as I can remember. I graduated from the Art School and the College of Technology and Design at the Leonov Technological University in Moscow. Originally, I wanted to further study and make my career in art. However, during the difficult transition times in the 90s, I had to change the direction of my professional development and ended up with a Doctorate in Economics. For more than 20 years I’d been working as a chief financier at the local branch of Gazprom.

Nevertheless, I found time to be constantly engaged in design and decoration of interiors, including creating original wall coverings, pieces of furniture, vases and lamps. After I’d given birth to my second son at 43, a channel of new artistic vision opened inside me and I changed my life to became a full-fledged artist. 
Thus, I started a new circle of love for art and returned to my destiny.

​

I constantly professionally grow my art skills and I take an active part in exhibitions with my artwork all over the world. For example, I became a participant in several prestigious exhibitions: The 6th Ural Industrial Biennial Of Contemporary Art, Russia; ‘Global Conversation 2020’, Global exhibition Google Arts & Culture The United Nations' UN75, USA; ‘The Social ART Award – New Greening’, Germany. Considering this portfolio, my paintings started to be more and more attractive for investment. My artwork find their home in private collections in England, Germany, Switzerland, Spain, Austria, USA, Russia, Ukraine and other countries.
