Thank you for visiting my gallery. As a watercolor artist dedicated to plein air painting, I journey through diverse landscapes, capturing the essence of each location with my brush. Painting en plein air is one love of my life - I feel connected to the world, get familiar with a place by painting it , and that makes me feel home. Landscapes and cityscapes source my inspiration, so do the people I meet, and the environments they shape.
I was born and raised in Soviet Union, currently based in Georgetown, Texas
