Irina Velman is a New Zealand artist of Russian origin. She travelled a great deal, and has currently settled down in Waitakere, West Auckland.

“It is a very special place where the nature is beautiful and powerful, people are friendly creative, the art community is flourishing. You simply can’t run out of inspiration here!”

Art has been a lifetime journey for Irina. Her hobby, passion, escape, source of happiness and now, profession! “I paint every day, what can be better!”
