Born in Lvov, Russia, I lived and traveled throughout Europe and the Middle East before settling in New York City and very recently to Venice, California. I began my formal studies in art while studying at the University of Texas in San Antonio and the School of Visual Arts in New York.

Through art, I have been fortunate enough to have earned critical acclaim and an ever-increasing following of collectors. My art has been exhibited domestically and internationally in such places as Newark Museum, Christie's Auction House, New York; Art Fusion, Miami; Trump International, Miami.

My art is contemporary primitive, pure art with an edge. The drawings are colorful, whimsical, easy to understand and fun to look at and enjoy. Blocks of color give you serenity as the eye travels from space to space. There's something comfortable and secure about knowing and understanding what you are seeing. I draw animals to show their beauty, their innocence and the joy and happiness they bring to us. I draw with a sense of delight seeing how color interacts, awakens the spirit, and pleases the senses. I call it primitive because I try to keep it spontaneous not to correct or overwork the art. My first lines are always my best.
