Accessories – Baltimore
My name is Tatiana Malinko and I am a sculptor, costume designer, embroiderer and digital modeler.
I started seriously studying art at the age of 14, when I enrolled in the fine art school for children in Crimea, Ukraine, where I studied painting and drawing. I did so in hopes of becoming a fashion designer one day. Later I studied architecture, then graphic design, then Visual Effects and 3D Modeling and sculpture. I come from a family of crafters, so I was able to learn sewing and embroidery and other crafting at an early age. I was also involved in various performing arts - theater, dancing, opera singing. I love and practice many art forms.
I sculpt with water based or oil based clay whenever I can. I like to paint with oils. And I make cosplay and fantasy costumes, where I employ variety of materials and techniques-pattern making, sewing, bead and gem embroidery, 3D printing, molding thermoplastics, sculpting with sculpey and more.
