New shore

Our online auction BeMyPaint presents works by Natalia Shindina, a resident of the art estate, an artist with cerebral palsy who draws pictures while holding a brush between her teeth. And here is her story:

Natalia lives and works in the unique art estate "New shores" in Penza. 

Natalia has had many trials and losses since childhood. The very first and strongest is the loss of parents. Natalia grew up in an orphanage that replaced her family. A difficult diagnosis, lack of support from relatives and friends pushed me to work. All her feelings, resentments, dreams and hopes she wanted to show to others.

At that time, a teacher came to the children's home in the morning. He taught children to read, count, and draw. It was then that Natalia decided to learn to draw at all costs.
After the orphanage, Natalia went to a boarding school, where she asked many times to organize lessons at an art school, but each time she was refused.
