I\'m an international student from Moscow, Russia. I\'ve studied at Columbus College of Art and Design, OH (the year 2013-2014). And at this time I\'m a sophomore student at Pratt Institute, Brooklyn, NY. This is my fourth year here in the US. I have done painting since 9 years old. Grew up and took art classes in a very small town and then came to Moscow at the age of 14 and almost quit painting. I\'ve tried many other different things in my life, such as architecture/interior design (which I took in Russian strongest university for architecture), philosophy and Russian history courses at MSU. However, I could only find myself in the United States when I came to study at EF International Academy (Tarrytown, NY), IB program. I\'ve met people who could give me a little more courage to begin doing Art again. Thinking of what could happen if I stay in Moscow, I would study in the university I\'ve applied before leaving (just in case) and be a PR major student which wasn\'t interesting for me enough. That\'s one of the main reasons of why I\'m so happy I came here and there\'re no moments when I thought \"it doesn\'t worth it».
