I was born and raised in the middle of Russia.
After school I moved to Moscow to study architecture and building construction in Building Academy.
In 5 years after finishing my Uni I found myself working as a partner in one of the youngest and funkiest architectural practices in Moscow.
I arrived to Australia in 1994.
Over the years I was working in different areas of Design, Architecture and Construction management.
Being an architect means I was practically sleeping with a pencil in my hand. ( Yes I am an old school and remember pencils , ink and paper) but drawing and painting were never a big part of my life I started to take drawing lessons just for fun and got hooked.
Pastels is my favourite media, however I am not a stranger to watercolours, acrylics and oils.
