Thank you for visiting my gallery. As a watercolor artist dedicated to plein air painting, I journey through diverse landscapes, capturing the essence of each location with my brush. Painting en plein air is one love of my life - I feel connected to the world, get familiar with a place by painting it , and that makes me feel home. Landscapes and cityscapes source my inspiration, so do the people I meet, and the environments they shape.
I was born and raised in Soviet Union, currently based in Georgetown, Texas
About me
I discovered magic of watercolors in 2018 and invested all available effort to learn and practice. Since then, I've been traveling to paint en pleinair and keep learning form masters watercolorists online and in studio. I love painting new places, on location , testing my progress in exhibitions, local and international plein air competitions.
