About Vera's Creative Journey
A few years ago, I found myself in one of the darkest moments of my life—postpartum depression. After my baby was born, I lost interest in everything that once brought me joy. I withdrew from social events, felt disconnected from my baby, and struggled with a creative block that affected my other businesses. It was a silent battle, and I knew I couldn’t stay in that state forever—I needed to find a way to heal and rediscover myself.
I’ve always believed in turning passion into purpose. My breakthrough came when I remembered the beads my grandmother used to make for me as a child. That simple memory ignited something in me. I started experimenting, creating, and eventually, I found my way back—one bead at a time.

What started as a personal escape has grown into a beautiful business serving clients across the world. Taltohma was born not just from creativity, but from resilience, healing, and a deep connection to culture.
Today, I’m not just an artist—I tell stories through photography and beading, blending tradition with modern elegance. I’m married, a mother, and a creative who loves observing the world, writing, watching movies, and spending time alone with my thoughts (yes, that’s my idea of fun!). Welcome to my world.
