Ksenia Kozhevnikova

Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada
I am a traditional-digital creative artist who strives for realistic and semi-realistic fantasy. I spend a lot of time, effort and coffee doing what I love best - painting and drawing. I am from Russia and love cold weather, earl grey tea, computer games, and my Wacom tablet.
