I am an abstract expressionistic painter currently living and working in New Mexico. Originally from Belgrade, Serbia, I’ve been involved in the creative process my entire life.

My academic explorations culminated with an MFA in Mixed Media from the Academy of Applied Arts University in Belgrade and in postgraduate studies in printmaking from the University of New Mexico. Upon moving from Europe to the USA, I pursued a long career as an Art Director/Creative Director in the specialty field of user experience and human factors design.
​
In addition to my passion for painting, I have been a Getty Images photo contributor as well as an animal rescue photographer.
