A native Russian, I was born in Leningrad (now St. Petersburg). I received an M.A. from the Herzen Pedagogical Institute (now the St. Petersburg Pedagogical University).
In addition to exhibitions in St. Petersburg, I also sold a number of paintings and pen and ink drawings through private referrals to collectors from St. Petersburg, Moscow, London, Toronto, and New York.
I am also the author of three volumes of poetry published in St. Petersburg and Seattle.
Since immigrating to the United States in December, 2004, I have lived and worked in Seattle.

Artist statement
I could paraphrase Gertrude Stein and say, ironically, that “An artist is an artist is an artist.” Or I could, with great pathos, say, “I am a Russian artist.” But I’d say more simply and less pretentiously that “Art has to bring beauty.” That Beauty could be tragical or not, but always gives people joy and a possibility for their souls to be more human. That is all I wish to say about Art. The rest is the business of art critics.
