I am a self-taught artist based in Urbandale, Iowa, USA. Originaly from Kiev, Ukraine, I moved to Iowa more than 30 years ago, and I still find surprises around every turn, finding beauty in what, at first glance, appears mundane.

I picked up a paintbrush as pain therapy at the tail end of a decades-long career in software development, and quickly became a strong believer in the therapeutic power of art. From my many adventures over the years, both within the tranquility of Iowa landscapes and beyond its borders, I’ve found many inspirations.

Here, I intend to give a taste of my explorations and ambitions in art and to capture the beauty that I’ve seen everywhere from my daily walks to my travels to small moments at home.
