About the Artist
Born in Moscow, Russia, Marina Zavalova became an impressionist landscape painter of highly colorful scenes with bold application of paint.
In 1981, she graduated with a master’s degree from The Textile Institute of Art in Moscow and then worked as a colorist, textile designer, and commercial artist. In 1990, she emigrated to the United States and settled in Idaho Falls with her husband Vladimir (also an artist) and three children. By 1993, her art was in galleries across the USA, and she began teaching classes and workshops.
