Elena Mukhina-Rumyantseva was born in the USSR and moved to the United States in 2013 with her husband and three children. With over 25 years of experience teaching art to children, she currently runs a private art studio in San Jose, CA, working with students aged 4 to 12.
Elena holds a degree in Art History from the Ilya Glazunov Academy of Painting, Sculpture, and Architecture in Moscow. While continuing to teach, she actively develops her own artistic practice, focusing on painting, decorative arts, and working with genuine leather.
Since 2022, Elena has been participating in art exhibitions and Silicon Valley Open Studios (SVOS), sharing her creative work with a broader audience. Her art is inspired by nature—flowers, trees, and animals—along with music and literature, and reflects vivid emotional responses through form and color.
