I have been a professional artist for nine years after receiving my B.A. in Art from Johnson State College in Johnson, Vermont. But in reality, I have been drawing and painting for as long as I can remember.
I turned to colored pencil after trying practically every other medium and have fallen in love with the detail and depth that I can achieve with them.
Originally I am from Russia but currently live in beautiful, scenic Vermont. I am drawn to images of animals, nature and birds bathed in sunlight and shadows. I also like to capture the every day unposed moments...a dog resting at its owners feet, a silent cat observing birds, a playful foal, a father and infant son asleep together.
