Born in 1966 in Uzbekistan in the former Soviet<br />
Union, Olga Dorenko spent much of her childhood<br />
moving around the Soviet Union.<br />
She lived in vastly different regions and climates,<br />
experiencing (perhaps subconsciously<br />
collecting the future color pallet she now uses)<br />
many fascinating places of beauty.<br />
Dorenko arrived in North Carolina in 1998,<br />
becoming a US citizen ten years later. In 2009<br />
she opened Olga Dorenko Fine Art Studio, and<br />
Dorenko has since become one of Asheville’s<br />
most loved and respected artists.<br />
