I was born in Odessa, Ukraine in the year, 1971, after graduating high school in 1988, I applied, attended, and graduated from the University of Communication for Electromechanical engineering in 1993. In the year of 1994, my family and I came to the United States of America. After our arrival, I enrolled and graduated from Katherine Gibbs School located in Piscataway, New Jersey in Visual Communications. I, then, attended painting classes to enhance my abilities, at the nearest community college in West Windsor, New Jersey. Afterwards, I applied, and was accepted into the curriculum of Masters of Fine Arts, (MFA) in Interdisciplinary Arts at Goddard College located in Plainfield, Vermont, where I am still enrolled as a student.
