About

I am a sculptor, painter, and photographer living and working in the Washington DC region.

I was born in Romania, in the south-western part of Transylvania. I was introduced to drawing at an early age by my grandfather, an accomplished photographer and painter. Throughout my formative years I developed my drawing skills under the instruction of Richard Mantu, one of Romania’s celebrated artists.

I studied painting with Natasha Mokina and Leslie Exton, and sculpture with Charles Flickinger at the Corcoran College of Art and Design.

I am keenly interested in figurative art. I enjoy the challenge of portraying human emotion and interaction, in painting and in sculpture.

When I'm not making art, I put my Master's degree in Electrical Engineering to good use as a technology consultant.
