Artist, traveler, wanderer, seeking an inspiration

I was born in the South Urals in Russia, the oldest mountains of the planet.
It was a small village surrounded by forests and mountain streams.
I studied art and art history at the age of 12 at the Art School, then at the University in city Ufa. Art came in my life since childhood and I can not imagine my life without art.
I do mostly oil paintings , also have a few acrylic paintings. Since 2011, I am doing processed images of my paintings, using photo editor.
I immigrated to the United States and became American citizen. I live in New York, a big cosmopolitan city with many ethnic groups.
I have idea to travel to South Urals for while. I describe my traveling and post on Steemit from time to time posts “ Traveling from New York to South Urals”
Currently I stay in the house of my sister in South of Russia. Soon we going to travel to South Urals , where I was born and spent my early childhood.
