Elena Prokhorova

I live in the Belgorod region. I have graduated from the Kharkov College of Green Construction, specialty landscape design, and the Belgorod Agricultural Institute, specialty agronomy.

I have been interested in floristry all my life. I love to grow flowers, used to make three-dimensional compositions of fresh flowers and dried ones. I have been engaged in pressed flower art since 2010. I have been the member of the World Wide Pressed Flower Guild (WWPFG) since 2012 and the member of the Board (treasurer) of Union of Masters of Floristic Painting and Graphics (Russian Guild) since 2020.

I am Head of the "Flora" club of the Ploskovsky cultural and sports complex in the village of Ploskovskoye, Korochansky District, Belgorod Region.

I am winner and prize-winner of international and Russian competitions in floristic painting and graphics. I actively participate in various exhibitions, fairs, and festivals of decorative and applied arts. I participate in the opening of exhibitions as a representative of the Russian Guild in many Russian cities and teach classes.
