Datloof Names Her Teacher, Svetlana Shiskina, As Her Personal And Professional Mentor And Has Always Felt Indebted To Shiskina For Cultivating In Her A Deep Interest In The Rich Heritage Of The Russian Avant-Garde. Under Shiskina'S Protective Wing Datloof Burst On To The Most Progressive Of The Russian Art Scenes. Her Graduation Project Was Published In The Influential Soviet Decor Magazine "Decorative Art".
