(Lives and works in Burlington, Ontario, Canada)

Svetlana Turov is a Canadian fine art fiber artist whose evocative, textured works merge traditional felting techniques with a contemporary fine art sensibility. Working primarily with natural fibers through nuno and wet felting, fabric painting, and freeform surface construction, Turov creates layered compositions that are tactile, emotional, and visually striking—appealing to collectors who seek refined craftsmanship and conceptual depth.

Rooted in the fiber traditions passed down from her great-grandmother, Svetlana developed a deeply personal language through textiles. Her practice blends intuition and technique to craft works that explore organic textures, cultural memory, and the expressive potential of fabric. Her artistic alias—sFeltLana—is a creative play on her name and medium, highlighting her signature approach to fiber-based storytelling.

Each piece by Turov invites sensory engagement and introspection, offering viewers a tangible connection to nature, tradition, and contemporary design. She brings a painterly sensibility to fiber, with pieces that feel sculptural and fluid—expressing movement, emotion, and material integrity.

Svetlana’s works have been exhibited in a range of venues and are part of private collections throughout North and South America, as well as Europe. Her art book has been accepted into the permanent collection of the Hermitage State Museum in St. Petersburg, Russia—an exceptional milestone in her international career.

As her reputation continues to grow, Svetlana Turov is gaining increasing recognition for her unique contributions to contemporary fiber art. Her creations resonate with collectors seeking original, high-quality works that connect fine art with cultural tradition and personal narrative.
