I was born in 1960, into a family of scientists in Ukraine. My artistic talent was nourished from an early age, and soon after graduating in 1982 from the Academy of Fine Arts in Saint Petersburg-Russia, I moved to the bay city of Haifa in the north of Israel with my husband and newborn son. There, at the Mediterranean crossroads of cultural ideas and influences, I founded my studio. I works exclusively in oil on canvas. I exhibited internationally, for example at Art Expo in New York and Los Angeles. My work is in private collections in Israel, USA and Europe. In my earlier career, I also designed posters for the theater and illustrated numerous children books. Today I am working mainly on commissioned portraits, landscapes and figurative art.
