I have been drawing architecture since I was five, and I have been in awe of the glory of architecture my entire life.
I was adopted from Pskov, Russia at the age of two. The city is over a thousand years old and filled with structures from antiquity. Most of the art I create features fictional Russian architecture based strongly in historic fact.
I am on the autism spectrum, and my art is greatly influenced by my vivid autistic experience. I am driven to create art that showcases the beauty of architectural history and that aids the viewer in interpreting and understanding my autistic experience.
Historic preservation is something I am extremely interested in and I see my creations of buildings as a gate to the past and a reminder of the importance of saving what we have still standing. My passion for craftsmanship and detail is at the forefront of many of my works. My history and life experiences continue to inspire new ideas and creations every day.
