I have worked with many media and discovered the magic of a natural silk. My silk art could make wonderful presents for you or your loved ones. During the painting process I experience the radiation of a special energy that comes from process of working with silk. You can bring this radiation of positive energy and vibration of the color into your home. It could be decorative art for the wall, or a fashionable addition to your outfit. A casual outfit can be turned to a fancy one just by adding this colorful and bright accessory.

I grew up in St. Petersburg, Russia. During my early childhood visits during my summer vacations to my great-great grandmother in the Ukraine, while listening to her stories about nature and fairy tales, I developed a desire to create beautiful things. Later, while I was still at school, my grandfather introduced me to painting in watercolor and oil.

I received an engineering degree in the production of textile and apparel from the Textile University in St. Petersburg, Russia and also obtained a Certificate in drawing from the I. Repin Academy of Art. Later, during my studies at the Industrial School, I worked with the top technical designers who taught at that school. Since that time, the combination of art and technology has held a special fascination for me.

My work reflects my passion to create vibrant designs on natural silk in various color combinations, motifs, and sizes. Each item is one-of-a-kind and can me made to the customer’s specifications. Depending on the size and complexity of the desired design, turn-around time may be between one and four weeks in general.

I have been living in the United States for 16 years, and since 2001 in Washington, DC. The following pages will give you an introduction to my work and on how to reach me for further information.
