Veta Bakhtina is a Newport, Oregon-based oil painter, muralist, and children's book writer. Her works draw from the natural world as well as myth and fable from her Slavic heritage and around the world. Veta's paintings and writing focus on themes of home, nostalgia, and manifestations of infinity in nature through a trans-cultural lens. Veta grew up in St. Petersburg, Russia, at the end of the Communist era and credits her exposure to the uncharted natural world and cultural traditions for much of her inspiration and working style. Veta is a traveling muralist. When not out collecting reflections around the world, her original art can be found in her working studio at Creatures' Secrets Gallery, Aquarium Village, and Crow's Nest Gallery in Seal Rock on the Oregon Coast.
Published work by Veta Bakhtina includes the children's book The Magic Traveling Bunk Bed as well as the popular divination deck The Creatures' Secrets Animal Divination.
