Tatiana Parfenova was born in 1981, in Leningrad, the USSR (now St. Petersburg, Russia).
In childhood an interest in drawing had led Tanya first in the children's art studio "We Draw in the Hermitage" (in the Hermitage Museum), then to the St.Petersburg Children art school № 1.
Interest in the trade painter pushed her to continue their education in "The Johanson St. Petersburg State Academy Art Lyceum", class of V.I. Senchukov (2000).
