Katia Bulbenko received her BFA from the Tyler School of Art at Temple University in Philadelphia, PA. Her time there afforded her the opportunity to study art in Rome, Italy, where she furthered her fine art concentration in an international arena.
 

After college, she found work at Appleman Autoworks, Inc., assisting Brooklyn ceramicist, Glenn Appleman. Interested in involving herself with motivating art-related work, she moved on to be Assistant Manager at Eye’s Gallery, in Philadelphia. Her work there deepened her understanding of global folk art and exposed her to unique crafts and objects from Latin American countries. Currently, Bulbenko has devoted herself to teaching art to children in Jersey City’s and Hoboken’s Stevens Cooperative School.  She continues to pursue her artistic endeavors in her personal time.

Bulbenko’s works have been exhibited in a number of places—from SOFA in Chicago, IL (2006) and the Fifth International Fiber Biennial at the Snyderman-Works Gallery in Philadelphia, PA to more local haunts—St. John’s Church on Palisade Avenue in Weehawken (2007) and Hoboken’s own Frozen Monkey Café (2005).
 

The artist currently resides in Weehawken, NJ.
