In 1978 she graduated from the State Art Institute named after V.I. Surikov, workshop of theatrical decorative painting under the guidance of M.M. Kurilko-Ryumin.

The exhibition of Dreznina includes 30 works related to the Crimean series. Travel artist on the coast Gurzuf captured in soft watercolor shades, creating the effect of detachment of observation. The spectator as if plunges into a certain dream, thanks to the impressionistic technique of pictorial performance. Through the warm summer landscapes, twilight and night landscapes, we comprehend the diverse and magical world of the Crimean flora. Pastel colors convey the subjective impressions of the author of the works: gentle, calm, immersed in dreamy bliss. The works are dominated by shades of pink, purple - traditionally, these colors are considered a symbol of the otherworldly, higher world; blue, green, azure colors perfectly convey the atmosphere of the charming seaside city.

The nature of Gurzuf is truly inspiring, because it is located in one of the most picturesque places in the Crimea. Together with the author, the viewer takes a walk among exotic plants - cypresses, oleander, magnolia, Lankaran acacia, fan palm in parks and on the coast. Located between the Bear Mountain (Ayu-Dag) and the twin coastal cliffs of Adalar, resembling bizarre fabulous castles from a distance, Gurzuf is the abode of beauty and tranquility.
