Pick up the brush and transform your life’s canvas in Bright COLORS

A forward thinking concept from life's experiences that will help you discover your purpose in life.

I came to the U.S. from Russia in 1991 with big dreams—and zero English. Back home, I lived and breathed theater, but here? I could barely order a coffee without breaking into a nervous sweat. The culture was different, the language was torture, and even writing a simple check felt like rocket science.

But I refused to sink. When words failed me, colors took over. I picked up a brush, and little by little, I painted my way through the struggles. Years of pushing, learning, and refusing to quit led me to opening my own art gallery and teaching others to create. Now, I want to show you that fear of the unknown isn’t a stop sign—it’s a doorway. A challenge. A test to see how badly you want something new, something bold, something uniquely yours.

I’ve lived it—I know how terrifying it feels to step into a world where everything is unfamiliar, where mistakes are inevitable, where you feel exposed and unsure. But I also know that on the other side of that fear is transformation. Growth. A life you never thought possible.

Life hands each of us a blank canvas—untouched, full of possibility. Will you let hesitation keep it empty? Or will you grab the brush, make the first bold stroke, and create something extraordinary?

Today, Olga is a beloved painting instructor, speaker, and creative mentor to adults who are rediscovering purpose and self-expression later in life.
