About 905 Studio by Yelena Lamm: Yelena was born in Saint Petersburg Russia, where she received her training at the N. K. Roerich Fine Arts School before moving to the United States. She now resides in Pittsburgh, PA, where she primarily uses oil as her medium. Her vibrant and colorful pet portraits are a way to capture the unique personalities and characters of these animals. Yelena’s art has been purchased by collectors in the U.S. and throughout the globe. She is a member of the Oil Painters of America, the Portrait Society of America, and the National Oil and Acrylic Painters Society (NOAPS). 905 Studio is excited to provide private and group classes in drawing, oil painting and watercolor. Professional artist Yelena Lam, who has more than two decades of experience, will host the classes. She invites everybody to participate. Don't worry if you don't have any experience.
