About Me

Bill grew up in the former Soviet Union, learning art from his father, a member of the Soviet Union Art Society. Immersed in his father’s studio, he developed skills in drawing, painting, and sculpting. After moving to Twin Falls, Idaho, following the Soviet Union's collapse in 1991, Bill eventually returned to art, inspired by impressionist masters.

Specializing in landscapes and waterscapes, Bill captures Idaho’s beauty with bold brushstrokes and vibrant colors. His work reflects a deep appreciation for nature and life, aiming to uplift and inspire. Influences include Mikhail Garibyan, Monet, and Van Gogh.

I am also the owner and resident artist at Idaho Art Gallery in downtown Meridian, and I’d like to personally invite you to come see my work in person.

Each piece I create is inspired by the landscapes, people, and spirit of Idaho, and there's something special about sharing that in person. Whether you're a lifelong art lover or just curious, I’d be thrilled to meet you and hear what you think.
