I am a native of Kyiv, Ukraine, currently residing in Philadelphia, Pa. I credit my love of psychological painting to the Byzantine-style iconography of that ancient city.

My interest lies in rich emotional lives of people and places. I tend to describes herself as a “human painter.” My work is a combination of my European sensibilities and my American experiences: narrative, but not necessarily literal, straddling the line between reality and imagination.

I have a BFA from Moore College of Art and Design and an MFA from the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts.
