About
I am a professional artist and I love to teach Art to children and adults, individually or in small groups.
Being originally form Russia, I have a strong Academic Art Background. I believe that everyone is an artist and I can prove it to you, given the opportunity.
Drawing, painting, and decorating is what I do every day. I can help you create representational or abstract works of art using pencils, markers, watercolors, acrylics, and mixed media.
I customize my art lessons to meet the needs of my students. No experience needed. All supplies will be included when you come to my studio in Sun Valley, California.
