Oksana Salamatina earned her Master’s degree in Gallery Art Administration from the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York. Her career in the arts was shaped early on by a Peggy Guggenheim Scholarship, which took her to Venice to study at the Peggy Guggenheim Collection. Since then, she has worked alongside some of the world’s most esteemed art institutions, including Sotheby’s, Christie’s, and the Smithsonian, helping bring significant exhibitions and ambitious cultural initiatives to fruition. 

 

In her work as a children’s author, she extends that same artistic vision into the literary world, creating stories that honor imagination, cultural connection, and the timeless values of beauty, curiosity, and friendship.
