We had the good fortune of connecting with Iuliia Pozdina and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Iuliia, can you tell us more about your background and the role it’s played in shaping who you are today?
I’m from Russia. I moved to Los Angeles in 2014. I’ve been in the art field all my life. At the age of 5 my mom sent me to an art class, that’s where everything has begun. Then I went to art school, later I graduated from a college where I studied architecture. In Russia I worked as a visual merchandiser and a commissioned artist at the same time. In LA I worked as an art tutor, an artist for a fashion designer, a content creator/ artist for a sound engineer, a production assistant for Amazon tv-show. Right now, I have some projects, such as doing new paintings upon request, creating illustrations for a children’s book, creating NFT pictures. Also, recently I opened my company “Iuliia Pozdina Artist Studio LLC”. The company offers art classes for children and adults online and in person.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
I’m a fine artist with over 10 years experience. Mostly I do watercolor and acrylic paintings of different sizes upon request. When I lived in Russia I worked as a visual merchandiser and a commissioned artist at the same time. In 2014 I moved to LA. I have worked as an art tutor, an artist for a fashion designer, a content creator/ artist for a sound engineer, a production assistant for Amazon tv-show. I still do paintings upon request. Recently I opened my own company and I have some projects with different companies and independent contractors. My company also offers art classes for children and adults online and in person.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
I’m more a nature person than a city person. So I’d love to show my friend all the beauty of California’s nature, its beaches, mountains, deserts, forests.
