Nataliia Zhyzhko (Didukh) was born on February 28, 1969 in Tyvriv, Vinnytsia region.

From early childhood, she perceived the world as something divine that inspires a person to be creative. Great influence on the desire to draw had a grandfather - Theodosius Sarabun.

In 1980–1984 she studied at Vinnytsia City Art School. The warm memory of the lessons and experiences of the wonderful teachers of the institution still warms her soul.
