Artist statement
I am a scholartist, a strange specie, half-a-scholar and half-an-artist. I inhabit a History Department office at Northwestern University where I place a canvas against my bookshelves and produce my paintings which are called scholart. This art is inspired by my interest in East European literature, history, and culture and is generated by my research in that field. My scholart painting is a fusion, a juxtaposition, and a synthesis. It creates an image that grows from intuition and results in a paradoxical vision that defies scholarship. What I cannot achieve in my scholarship, I seek to accomplish in my art.
