Katya Gridneva was born in 1965 in the Ukraine.
As a child she loved to draw and paint, but this
talent was set aside when she was selected to be
a gymnast at one of Russias prestigious Sports
Schools. This career came to an abrupt end when
she was injured in a fall from the bar. Her
significant artistic talent was recognised by her
acceptance in 1993 to the Academy of Fine Arts in
St. Petersburg. Best known for her figurative
pastel works, several of Katyas models are
renowned ballerinas from the world famous Kirov
company and Marrinsky Theatre. Katya won first
prize for her portraits at the end of her first
year of studies in 1994. In St Petersburg
Academy of Arts, famous for teaching realistic
style, she met her husband, the artist Valeriy
Gridnev, although they both now live and work in
London. Since completing her studies in St.
Petersburg she has exhibited widely in Great
Britain, exhibiting with the Royal Pastel Society
at the Mall Gallery and the Alberti Gallery in at
many of London Art Fairs and in the USA.
