AMERICAN CONTEMPORARY ARTIST
I want to create magic, romance and celebration of life!
BIO
New Orleans based contemporary painter from a Russian descent. My life journey is long and filled with colorful memories, which I paint to this day. When I moved to New Orleans, I immediately got inspired to create, endlessly. I left the corporate world of being a successful Graphic Designer, Stylist and Art Director. I created advertising campaigns for companies like Under Armour, fashion houses in New York, Hearst Magazines, & retouched glossy magazine covers. Since, I got myself a painting studio in New Orleans, Louisianna. Now Celebrating life every day, and creating my visions on canvases. I am known for my kiss paintings and whimsical personal style. I travel often, frequently returning to Russia and Europe for new inspiration. Recent 2014 works were displayed At the Ogden Museum of Souther Art, “LA Contemporary”. Louisiana State Museum of Baton Rouge “Art Melt” Exhibit. All works are available to shop online at:
