Introduction I am a full time painter and printmaker. My work is narrative in nature with close attention to abstract elements such as composition, texture, and form. My interest in multi-cultural traditions, legends and folklore evolved into a personal mythology, constantly developing, and expressed in an array of art images and materials. I earned an MA in Art and Education from Columbia University Teachers College, New York City, and MFA in Studio Arts from California State University Los Angeles. My prints and paintings have been exhibited in museums and galleries throughout the country, have received many awards, were featured in numerous solo shows, as well as publications, magazines, and anthologies; my art works are included in the permanent collection of the Midwest Museum of American Art, Elkhart Indiana, and are incorporated The Lerner Theater Collection, curated by the Midwest Museum; I am asked by the Midwest Museum to participate in the upcoming invitational show in April 2016; six of my big paintings are a part of the South Bend Indiana Art Museum’s Sightlines Project, and my prints are included in the museum’s gallery.

I was born in Romania and raised in Russia and the Middle East. I immigrated to the United States in 1975, resided in New York City, Los Angeles, and Chicago. At the present time I live and work in South Bend, Indiana.
