I grew up in New York City, drawing most frequently on the subway while completely ignoring everything around me. Drawing while ignoring my surroundings remains a favorite activity :) Began my artistic education via the Russian Academic Tradition. Since then, I’ve branched off into other artistic influences – illustration, surrealism, symbolic art, graphic design – but with classical painting always at the foundation. I’ve always been a person with wide and varied interests, and ended up with a degree in psychology rather than art. Psychology remains a deep influence for me, particularly the work of Carl Jung.
Favorite artistic subjects include mythology, symbolism (such as that of the Tarot), sci-fi & fantasy, and portraiture.
Aside from painting and drawing, I enjoy traveling, taking lots of pictures, hiking, meditating, being a Doctor Who nerd, and serving my feline overlord.
