I started painting when I was a child, and attended an Art School in my home town in Ukraine.
I returned to acrylic painting in 2005 after a long break. Soon I realized that I really enjoyed it.
Several of my works have received State Exhibit Awards and Honorable Mention through the Wisconsin Regional Art Program.
Giclee prints of my earlier paintings are available at my

I found myself devoting most of my free time to art - reading about art, learning as much as I could, taking art class (painting, metalsmithing, pottery) and trying different styles and techniques as well as some less traditional media.
I am currently a member of Association of Wisconsin Artists (AWA).
