About Me
Hello and nice to see you. My name is Elena Yavorova. I was born in 1986 in Donetsk and was lived a big part of my life in this city. But the war was began and I have left my hometown. But go back a little earlier. When I was child the doctors was diagnosed: spinal muscular atrophy - a disease of atrophy all muscle groups, so I have weak muscles and a strong scoliosis. Since childhood, I can’t walk and move around only with using an electric wheelchair. I have graduated Donetsk National University with a degree "Documentworking and information activities", now I have a Master's degree. It was a very interesting time - time of study and researching. I have created and long time maintained the first ukrainian website, covering the life and concerns of people with disabilities - "Believe in yourself!". In Donetsk I was a member of the public organization of assistance to disabled children and young people with disabilities, named "Rainbow", participated in volunteer projects and was wrote projects for grants for the organization.
I am very creative girl with lots of variety hobbies. When I was a child I have engaged in folk art and embroidery, also I love a beadwork, creating handmade greeting cards, gel and wax candles, scrapbooking.
Now I am National ukrainian Master of art embroidery. Multiple participant and winner of contests and exhibitions of art and crafts. In 2008 I have had my first personal exhibition in the Krivoy Rog city, and in 2010 the second personal exhibition in my native city Donetsk.
When I have a inspiration, I write a poetry and fiction. They are printed in literature digests "Kaleidoscope of Moments" and "Contrast the words" in Kharkov. In 2016 I was published my first book "Treasures of Moria", a magical fantasy fiction.
I am the winner of the Ukrainian festival of creativity of the people with disabilities "On the wings of inspiration", nominations "Poetry" and "Arts and Crafts", it took place in December 2011 in Kiev. In January 2016 I have got the People's Choice Award Ukrainian literary contest "Feather Firebird" in Kiev.
All my creations are an inspiration and at the same time - is overcoming, overcoming physical weakness, fatigue, the various troubles of the disease. The joy of creating and inspiration help me to light the way and overcome obstacles. I always try to learn something new for yourself and try as much as possible the different spheres of activity. I love nature, sparkling night sky with myriads of stars, the sky during the autumn and summer days. I dream about new experiences and new places. I love spring so much! I appreciate the sincerity and honesty, and try to be the same. Always with lot of ideas, I love to create something new. I think that life it is an eternal travel and I want to move forward. I do not like a complain, superficiality in people and futile talks. I sincerely admire the masters of their craft, creative, one-piece, multi-faceted personality. One of my beliefs and principles is:
"Creation and donation - anything, just as the principle - it is more interesting than consuming because you are not only contemplate and enjoy the variety of always different, always another evening sky - But you take a brush and paint another, very tiny cloud - and the picture becomes more completely, and the picture will be more perfect - and the world get just one more speciality"
