The Siberian born artist studied classical painting before picking up her first spray can aged 18. 

Her work adorns buildings across Russia in St Petersburg and Siberia as well as walls in Indonesia and Malaysia. 

Yarriambiack Shire Council announced Ms Volchkova would paint the Rupanyup silos for the region’s Silo Art Trail. 

Mayor Graeme Massey said they were looking to showcase the work of a female artist and Ms Volchkova’s work was of an extremely high calibre. 

He said the art trail attracted impressive international artists due to it’s unique concept and the chance to have work displayed for decades.

“It’s probably a landscape they’ve never worked on before,” he said. 

“We’ve been told Brim will last 15 years or more before it fades, Sheep Hills possibly less.

“You look at some of the older buildings in Warracknabeal, there’s a sign up there advertising a photographer that’s been their 100 years. 

“I assume we will still be able to see some of this silo work in 80 years time.”

Mr Massey said Ms Volchkova would start painting the silos in March, with work expected to take less than a month.

“It’s a smaller silo and if it goes along with the amount of time it took the others to complete, it should be about two weeks,” he said.

“Although it really depends on the weather and what is required.”

Mr Massey said the Lascelles and Roseberry would also be painted in 2017.

A dedicated Silo Art Trail website has been set up by the shire.

Mr Massey said he hoped the website would help publicise the trail and entice people to visit. 

“It’s a very exciting project,” he said.

“It all started with Brim and i’d like to give credit to the Brim community, Marrianne Ferguson and Ray Kingston for all their hard work making the project the way it is.

“We hope it will increase the tourism economy and see that flourish.

“Instead of going to Broken Hill or Mildura people will come to Horsham and Warracknabeal and through our towns.

“It will benefit accommodation, service stations, food outlets and the economy will flourish.”
