all started and how it happened that you got interested in chess:

a wood carver and self-taught as well, although.I have studied some painting
and drawing. I live in the United States and am a philosophy professor.
I am begining to see that there are more serious woman wood carvers in
the world than I initially thought. Now I know of about 5 including myself:
Nora Hall: http://www.norahall.com (american, but comes from Holland) Eva
Ryynanen (no website yet, finnish) Ann Browers: http://users.pandora.be/houtsculptuur.browers
(from Belgium) myself: http://www.oocities.org/SoHo/Exhibit/9714 (american)
I am asking art magazines to do a feature on woman wood carvers, but I
have had no response as of yet. But if I have any luck, I will put you
on the list; we are somewhat rare. Best of luck,Steff Rocknak
Sat, 22 May 1999 23:02:41 -0700.-Hello I found your website through
a link on the InternetChess.com site. I found your chess sets and your
explanation for the themes very interesting. Good luck with your sculptures.
By the way, I am writing from Arizona USA. Sincerely,Laurie Wise.
22 Mar 1999 08:59:11 -0500.- I just looked at your web site at http://www.link.lviv.ua/~scural/push0.htm
You have a lot of interesting material. Unfortunately, it is not well organized.
However, I feel that your site is worth looking at and I will publicize
in on the chess newsgroups. Sam Sloan
Thu, 7 Jan 1999 08:45:24 -0600.- Greetings from the United States
and from Iowa!!! The pages are excellent. I think many Americans would
be interested in the Pushkin art and the chess sets. I have forwarded your
message to friends in Colorado, Massachusetts and New Mexico.
Fri, 18 Dec 1998 12:58:54 -0600.-Your work is excellent. Thank you
for sharing it with us and a very Happy Christmas to you and yours.
Fri, 18 Dec 1998 13:09:27 +0000.-You do wonderful work. Hope you
have a happy birthday. -- Ron Eakins La Puente, CA 91744, USA "Art
is not a handicraft, it is the transmission of feeling the artist has experienced."

Fri, 18 Dec 1998 13:22:55 -0600.-Dear Mrs. Uralova, I have just
visited your web site and it is wonderful. I am a beginning woodcarver,
and your wood sculptures are inspiring. Thanks for putting them on the
web, and making it possible for us to see them. Have a happy and blessed
Christmas, and a new year filled with peace and prosperity. -Robin Anne

Sat, 19 Dec 1998 06:13:29 EST. Dear Mr. and Mrs. Uralova, Your miniature
wood carvings are very exceptional! The proportion and detail leave me
speechless! It is also very rare to find an artist that can express herself
in more than one kind of carving. You are very accomplished in Miniature
"in the round" carving (your chess characters) as well as "functional"
carving (your boxes) and "relief carving" (decorative work on
box lids). Do you also do the "chip carving" on the border of
the chess boards? Amazing! May you continue to thrive in your art work.
Jim Davies (a whittler) Hartford, Ohio USA
