Your teacher
I’m a New York–based fine artist and watercolor instructor with more than 15 years of experience creating original artwork, commissions, and portraits of people, pets, and couples. My artistic journey began with my formal training at Karl Fabergé College in Moscow, where I earned an Associate in Fine Arts degree and developed a lasting love for drawing, color, and expressive painting.I love teaching because art can help people slow down, gain confidence, and express something personal—even when they believe they are “not creative.” I teach watercolor, portraiture, drawing, and color mixing in a supportive, beginner-friendly way for children and adults.As a native Russian speaker, I am especially excited to make art instruction accessible to Russian-speaking students and families in New York and online. My work has been exhibited in New York galleries, including Awita Gallery, Cannavita Gallery, Detox Gallery, and The Living Gallery, and I have been featured by Stephen Bailey, Queens Gazette, and TAPinto Hoboken.
