I was born in St. Peterburg Russia at the time of the Soviet Union in the family of artits. At the age of 12 I was admitted to the Johannsson School of Fine Arts - Pre Academy division of the Academy of Fine Arts in St Petersburg Russia. At the age of 17 I enrolled int to the Academy witch I attended for several years before leaving Russia to live in the United States.
For a few years I was working as an apprentice to one of the revered New York Artists - Shimon Okshteyn - in creating pieces for multiple exhibitions in NY and around the world. Working with the galleries like OK Harris and Nahamkin
At the age of 29 I had taken a break from the fine arts to rase a Family, wile working as an illustrator for various client and publishing two books for children.
At present I resumed working as an independent fine artist, working in neo-romantic / surrealism stiles, working with acrylic on wood and watercolor works on paper. Exhibiting virtually, witch earned me a first prize in Upward Gallery juried show in October 2023 and the Honorable mention in Koi gallery juried competition. Is well as being longlisted in the Artis of the Year Juried competition by VAA.
At this moment I am looking forward to participation in the international group shows such is Laguna Prize.
