Pastels are pure pigment, the richest and most direct medium. I am able to express myself through my fingertips. My art is a translation of the perfect image of the ultimate universe through the prism of my own experience and Russian-born American Raised heritage. I am constantly trying to find the balance between the beauty of the surroundings and my expressive nature. I capture landscapes as I roam from the Smoky Mountains to the Red Rocks Nevada.
