''As for the artist my pedagogical experience was very important and interesting for me. I have dedicated more than 25 years of my life working with children of different ages. I worked at the following schools of art: Serov, Pedagogical Hertzen Institute and Mukhin Institute. All those schools are located in St. Petersburg. My conseption is: every person is born talented and unique. But to open the individuality of every single child we shouldn't forget the individual development of each student. So, by growing artistic skills of a child we increase the sence of beauty in his soul. My goal is to help young generation to reach their aims, to find the way in life, to discover themselves without suppression of individuality. Many of my students, were able to pass their exams successfully in Russia, in Germany and in other countries. Some of them became artists, architects, graphic designers, etc. I wish they are successful!''
