Originally from Siberia, I have lived in Arlington, Virginia, for over 20 years. Data Scientist with a Ph.D. in mathematics, I enjoy painting the world in all its forms, drawing inspiration from my travels and local scenery. I do not limit my art to particular subjects but rather aim to paint light, air, and emotions, whether in a landscape, still life, or a human or animal portrait.

I work primarily in soft pastel, a tactile medium that creates infinite possibilities of expressive mark-making and luminous colors. My mixed-media and encaustic works often include some soft pastels as well. I am a member of the Arlington Artist Alliance, an Exhibiting artist member of The Art League, and a member of several pastel societies. My works have been presented in international, national, and local exhibitions.
