About the Artist
Oksana Limankina is a Seattle based watercolor artist originally from Ukraine, who relocated to the United States in 2021. She paints en plein air and figures from life, drawn to the immediacy and intimacy these practices offer. Her style is rooted in realism with a strong impressionistic sensibility, capturing not just a scene, but the feeling of being present in it.
Travel is a constant source of inspiration for Oksana. She documents her journeys through sketchbooks, filling them with observations from the places she visits. Closer to home, Seattle's coffee shops become her "winter studio", where she sketches the quiet energy of visitors and ambience. Beyond her own practice, she is an active participant in the local plein air art community, helping nurture the culture of outdoor painting in the Pacific Northwest. Since 2023, her work has been recognized in regional, national, and international juried exhibitions including Signature Membership in prestigious Watercolor West.
