I am a first generation immigrant from Russia. My life consists of autodidactic learning using books, online tutorials and workshops, driven by the ever-present compulsion to know and make.

I studied for 6 years and completed a doctorate degree in non-art field. I am very fortunate to have a life that allows either a philosophy book or a jeweler's saw in hand. There is either heavy metal or something weird and obscure in the background.

I’m currently a medical writer and metalsmithing remains a core interest but due to my admiration for varied materials, I try to take a mixed-media approach to what I create and engage with.
