Marina Grechanik Artist, Illustrator, Urban Sketcher, Art Educator Hello, my name is Marina Grechanik, I graduated from an Art College in Mink, Belorussia.

So instead of finding interesting things to buy, I was busy by finding stories to sketch, and I didn't need to go far at all! We started over nice cup of coffee sitting together with my fellow sketchers, busy by chatting. my friend Rachel and the street ant the background view on the coffee shop where I was sitting earlier flea market behind the coffee shop another point of view to the market colorful announcement's board above view to the coffee shop from the second flour Lucky me, I've got everything together in one day - perfect company, perfect place and per...
