CURRENT MISSION

My current mission involves extensive travel throughout Eastern, Central, and Western Europe. I will be visiting European Art Universities and exchanging artwork between students in Europe and the USA.

ABOUT ME

I am a printmaker in Boston, USA. I was born in Moscow, Russia, grew up in Ohio, and made my way to the east coast. I am about to finish school and go to Europe on a travel grant with my younger brother. I have traveled a lot around the USA and very much enjoy hosting and being hosted by others, whether it's a couch or a friendly floor!

PHILOSOPHY

Boredom is a waste of my time.
