Artist Statement:
Olga Perry is Internationally
recognized artist with the
highest awards in sculpture,
painting and photography.
The single mom in her 40's,
Olga immigrated from Russia to
US with two bags and about 50
English words in her
vocabulary. Nevertheless, she
made an amazing jump in
creating her life long dream
-- to be an artist.
Olga got it all. Her art

fusion of brilliant intellect,
logic of the scientist, unique
vision, worldwide experience,
unification of cultures and
philosophies and Renaissance
skills. Enormously prolific,
Olga created a few thousand
pieces of art in short period
of time and in all possible
media.
And yet --- she just
started.....

” I would describe Olga
Perry's sculpture style as
Romantic and Beautiful.
Unfortunately in today's art
world the words Romantic and
especially the word Beautiful
are considered not pc--
politically correct. I think
her work is amazing with so
little formal training,
perhaps an year. Olga’s
portrait heads have a distinct
Russian “ look" to them with
an Elegance of the ...

Carmel Magazine, 2008 August.
"Monterey County Weekly", March 16, 2006:
Artists Olga Perry and Lana Loukianenko came from a part of the world that discouraged free expression. Luckily they didn’t become part of that world. Lana came to the Monterey area via the mysterious Ukrainian city of Odessa. Olga came from the capital of the former Soviet Union, Moscow. Maybe it was a quirk of fate or a quirky neighbor that brought them together so many miles from their beginnings. What ever it was, it was a good thing. The two far eastern artists have become an artistic whirlwind that is taking the Monterey artist community by storm. The fantastic images that Olga creates meld perfectly with Lana’s exquisite sense of movement and color. Working together in their Pacific Grove studio they have created a body of work that will arouse the imagination
and take the viewer on a journey into the world of the visual senses. Rarely do two master artists collaborate on this level. It could be their shared beginnings. Or maybe they have the special appreciation of one great artist of another. See this wonderful collection from two of California’s greatest imports. Lana and Olga will be at the Sofanya Gallery in Big Sur starting March 1. And meet them at an artist’s reception on March 18.

"LanaOlga is Lana Loukianenko and Olga Perry, two Russian born artists that live in Monterey California. They work as a team. They met last summer while working on a public mural in the Cannery Row district. Since that time they have collaborated on several public and private pieces. LanaOlga also have a showing and art tour planned for this fall. Their work will also be featured at Stowitt's Museum in Pacific Grove." Monterey Herald, December, 2005
