TSVETI SOWERS
As a child Tsveti remembers being keenly observant as to how sunlight would wrap around everything. Spending her childhood in the countryside allowed Tsveti's mind to wonder, observe, and dream. A determined young artist, she filled paper with drawings and paint. Tsveti's passion was creating art.
TSVETI SOWERS
Tsveti received her degree in art education from the University of Angel Kanchev in Silistra, Bulgaria. Once Tsveti began studying art history she realized that the style that resonated most with her was Impressionism. Specifically, her desire was to be able to capture those fleeting moments in which light falls on an object, before it is gone forever. In addition to studying at the University, Tsveti had the privilege of studying art with classically trained artist and sculptor Jordan Kole. Tsveti moved to America in 2006. The US presented a new adventure and a challenge for her. Early on, she spent her time volunteering at the Virginia Museum of Fine Art, and that experience just furthered her desire to become a great painter. She has gone on to study art with Representational Painter David Tanner and also other American Artists like Dawn Whitelaw, Maggie Siner, and Anne Blair Brown. Tsveti can be seen painting en plein air at various locations in the Richmond area. Tsveti Sowers is currently a member of the Portrait Society of America and the American Impressionist Society.
