The Teddy Bear Artist

My name is Natalya Povoroznyk, and I am a professional artist specializing in one-of-a-kind collectible Teddy bears. I am incredibly honored to be a Golden George Award winner in 2026—the most prestigious international recognition in the world of Teddy bears.

For several years, I have been shaping tiny stories through fabric, expression, and form. What began as a gentle hobby has grown into a deeply meaningful artistic practice: creating emotional, hand-stitched art pieces crafted with character, depth, and soul. These bears capture moments, memories, and feelings we often cannot put into words.

Craftsmanship & Philosophy

Each of my bears is made entirely by hand—from the first sketch to the final stitch. I work slowly and consciously, using only high-quality materials such as:

• Mohair, viscose, and natural wool

• Vintage fabrics and carefully selected details

I never repeat my work; each piece is created in a single copy and possesses its own unique expression and quiet emotional presence.

Art for Collectors

My art bears now live in private collections around the world. Collectors choose them not as toys, but as intimate art objects—small companions that evoke warmth, nostalgia, tenderness, and a sense of home.

I believe that handmade art holds a special kind of magic: a quiet reminder that even the smallest objects can carry heart, comfort, and meaning.

Thank you for being here. I invite you to discover the bears who are waiting to share their stories with you.
