I am a classically trained artist from Saint Petersburg, Russia.

My art training started when I was 6 years old and is still ongoing.

I was lucky enough to get the best of what Russia could offer, the training,

Shtiegletz Art Academy; the teachers, Kovalevsky; and the most beautiful city

with the best art collections.

I came to the United States in 1979 and completed my degree in painting in

San Francisco Art Institute, one of the oldest Art schools in the city, established in 1871.


I always worked as an artist: illustrator, graphic designer and virtual environment artist

and for 23 years as an Art Director of computer games.

I won major awards (EMMA), and recognition of the industry, but my first love,

Something I do every day is painting.

For the last 50+ years my preferred medium is watercolor.

Ultimately, what I’m most interested in is uncovering the intangible, ethereal nature

of whatever I paint. In all my work, I aim to create imagery that transcends “the subject”

so that “it” becomes a vehicle for symbolism and conveys a sense of timelessness.

This pursuit is a moving target and a life-long quest. I strive to preserve the fleeting

illusion of presence, to maintain that exact moment of light when it's alchemy transforms

the familiar to the extraordinary. I find that it’s within this space we are invited to take a pause.


I paint a lot of figurative paintings, some still lives, cityscapes and landscapes.

My style tends to be more impressionistic than purely classical.

I like the immediacy and in the moment of an Alla Prima painting. I  participated and was

lucky to win some recognition

at local and international art shows. My work is in collections of Russia, Europe and

United States, and I am grateful that I can bring my stories into people's lives.

Born in Isfahan (Iran), she holds a bachelor's degree in Mathematics.  Self- taught artist, she first followed the realist style.  As any artist, she needs to explore and create, thus searching on networks for other artists who had different styles to what she was used to see.  She has been influenced by Alvaro Castagnet, Paul Ching Bor.  Her style evolves and she creates her own technique.  The situations she has been through and the artists she met have represented an important influence in the evolution of her style, receiving the support of these artists in the development of her career, who also gave her the chance to share projects with them.
