My name is Lena Nechet, I am an independent European visual artist based on the West Coast of the USA, in Southern California. I concentrate on abstract portraits from life and memory, geometric abstraction, and expressionism. My fine art signature is L∃N∀.
My academic background is in economics (Master's and Bachelor of Science) and creative arts (a more recent 2-year degree, AA). I am experienced in web development and design. I studied and practiced media production and made short documentary films.
I am a Ukrainian-raised mixed Slavic-German national. After traveling, I settled in Oceanside, CA. Here, I have set an eco-friendly art studio and planted a small orchard. Previously, I lived in several European and two American cultures and spoke a few languages.
I am an optimistic "optimalist" who prefers a minimalist lifestyle and lives primarily on fresh fruit. I cherish connections with kind and intelligent people and enjoy freestyle dancing, endurance running, and breaststroke swimming. I support ethical and environmental causes.
In short, I am a fruitarian-minded humanist from Europe who could not return home and then found love and a place under the Sun on the Pacific Coast of America.
I appreciate your interest!
