While studying at the Academy of Art and working for a famous Jewelry Company, Masha finished her web design classes successfully graduating in 2001.
Shortly after that she decided to learn more about her passion, the art photography, and she became a professional photographer. She worked many years for a Jeweler Magazine creating photographs for billboards, and advertisements. Her works were widely distributed not only through this magazine but also throughout Saint Petersburg city advertising system on billboards, posters, and now are published in books related to jewelry business.

Painting with different mediums such oil, acrylic, and watercolor resulted in many beautiful artworks that are now selling as originals and available as prints on. Some of them, for example, her Flying Bird watercolor painting was selected by editors for a cover of the magazine Natural Awakening, and a black & white drawing Our Quiet Life, was selected by film producers to participate in the interior décor of the movie 12 Strong.
