A sense of place and belonging is increasingly important to me, especially since moving to the United States from the Soviet Union. As a result, my work has revolved around landscape for a number of years. I take bits and pieces of my surroundings and assemble them into imaginary environments. The media I use range from painting and printmaking to installation.

In addition to my individual work, I also enjoy collaborating with other artists. I have made sets for a number of music and dance performances, and most often work together with printmaker and installation artist Margaret Yuko Kimura. Read the New York Times review about our latest piece. Our collaborative work can be found on the "Installations" page, and some of Margaret's prints can be seen here.

My experience includes national and international exhibitions, artist residencies in the United States, Norway, Indonesia, and Costa Rica, and a number of regional and international grants, including a Fulbright Grant to Norway. I have also been involved with a number of design and illustration projects, including cd jacket, poster, and web design.
