I am an embroidery artist based in the USA (MD).

I went to Krasnoyarsk Art College in Russia, then I worked as a graphic and prepress designer for about 19 years.

I started to embroider in 2019 being self-taught in embroidery, but my artistic career began in 2022 when I reached the right level in embroidery and formed my style. Since then, I've been honing my skills, to master new levels of realistic embroidery.

My inspiration is greenery along the roads, city parks, squares, and Asian Art, especially Japanese prints - thanks to them, I came up with several techniques in embroidery, even though threads and paints are two different things.

I make landscapes using the thinnest needles, and several types of stitches. I use threads for hand embroidery and machine sewing, which helps me to reach a realistic effect in my pictures.

I draw a sketch on the fabric, but it isn’t a detailed drawing because I want to leave opportunities to change something in the embroidery process if I need to. My working process is like a journey that allows route changes.

I often embroider the places where I live, and these are the most ordinary urban places, of which there are thousands all over America. Like many people, I like to admire the ocean, mountains, and forests, but I don't have to go somewhere to get inspiration, it's enough to walk close to home. I appreciate urban greenery no less than the greenery of wild nature, because first of all, thanks to ordinary urban lawns, I began to embroider my first landscape.

When my clients buy my pictures and write me how it pleases their eyes and what associations my embroidery brings to them - this is an immaterial reward, which I receive in addition to money for work.
