and an engineer
in Moscow, Russia.

1972 to 1974, she studied art
in a studio of a well-known Russian artist

Surikov Art Institute
in professor Salakhov’s class
in 1986-1990 years.
She
immigrated with her family to Israel in 1990.While
in Israel, she was inspired by the colorful nature of the country; this
motivated
her toward using livelier and brighter colors.
She successfully participated
in five
exhibitions in Israel.
Painting became like poetry on canvas to
her.
It was all about the spirit of a
place
in a landscape, or an object in a still life.
She studied in a private studio for abstract art
in Tel-Aviv in
1992. This did not change
her beliefs
in traditional skills,
such as composition, drawing techniques
and use of
colors.

family and she moved
to Canada in 1993.

peaceful beauty of British Columbia
fascinates her and she is using her art
to
capture the essence of the landscape.

of paintings for a local business.

urban scenes and still
life compositions.
