I was born and raised in Russian Saint-Peterbourg. The city of beautiful sad poetry, grandiose European architecture and troubled history. Descending from a line of “blue blood” on mother’s side and bar singer entertainers and village teachers on father’s, exposed to multiple venues of interest and succeeding in everything I chose to tap into, always longing for something bigger then life itself.

The journey had been long, valid points aside, often hard to handle. Having a child at an early age of 18, fine tuning motherhood as best as I could, many struggles better left for a tremulous biography to be written at a later date. I arrived to sunny Miami Beach on the wings of love, tackling small roles in LA in features a year prior and living a life of discovery in London before, while waiting for my proper paperwork to open the gates of what would become the gates of most opportunity – the United States of America.

2006 proved to be challenging. Life tossed some curve balls. Feeling alone and driven by fear I had no luxury of deciding of what I wanted to do with my life. Keeping my daughter safe and choosing lesser of the unknown I threw myself into photography career. Deciding right there and then I was to get an amazing shot every single time i am assigned to produce magic. No matter the circumstances of a given task. That self belief kept me running and made me into a well known respected, widely published photographer.

Within two years belting over 15 magazines covers, over 500 published images in print, ad campaigns, all through word of mouth and authentic social marketing, driven not only by the desire to connect , but by desire to keep being supported by fans, followers and colleges on my quest to conquer life and make lots of it.

Landing lead role in reality tv docu drama series proved to be an experience ( Miami Social for Bravo TV ) Recognition far and wide followed. Large televised competition, employing my

Painting came later, to be found a necessary release of the stress at first, inspired by the quest of the matter to create a project I had in mind. While seeking for one , painting had become y solace and the only time my expressive brain would be left alone to simply be. Very shortly few group and private shows followed culminating my first year as a painter, being commissioned as the lead fine artist for Trey Songz’s “Love Faces” music video production, now seen on the web by well over 20 million viewers.

Constantly educating myself on all things art and style in addition to intellectual property rising conditions . Fast paced web world evolving and becoming very important thread in the fabric of our lives. Challenges to protect myself against intellectual property theft, few times leading to challenging the offenders in court , made me stronger and more knowledgeable. Decision to keep firm on a path of profiting of what i love and do best, inspiring others , and ultimate desire to align the altruistic self for the greater good and helping others to do the same.

All that drives me today towards my bigger goal in succeeding to become the global source for fast reliable content search for a multibillion industry of art licensing, facilitating and making it convenient for all sides involved. Tapping into a 66 billion dollar a year market of goods that are manufactured in conjunction with licensed art. Expierence of being on all sides of the business making, including but not limited to art buyer in media, photographer and artist ( often the two oppositions in current art world, refer to highly publicized court cases ) helps me tremendously to assess and strategize taking all in consideration. That is the grand plan for Feniz llc, the company i formed in october of 2011.

There is harmonious business practice to be build. Recognizing the need and having deep connections in art community to source the talent, coupled with always present public persona, others identify as inspiring, a leader and diva transforming into a down to earth person ones you meet me and get a chance to spend time with me. All the above makes me and what I do unique. Recognizing it in myself helps me and drives me to help others discover that same uniqueness and embrace it, in all facet of life, especially in my chosen field of art of life, life in art and bringing art into the lives of others.

I am offering an inspiration in a form of new and up and coming art collections , realized in various shapes and forms, that you can claim your own, I am extremely prolific and stay in awe of the world as I go along, just like when I was a kid. I want to never grow up.

Being a visionary I have think global an act local. Patience was never my strong suit, but it will have to take a leave ob absence for a while. The big dream is to arrive to a point where I will be able to fulfill my other need – philanthropic endeavors helping to those i strongly identify with, those who dream big, those who see the light at the end of tunnel, those who have talents to blossom in whatever chosen field, those who want a helping hand in being inspired and working for a big break the would propel them to become who they were meant to be. I work for those that do not wish to settle for less.photographic talent , for Playboy Shoot Out, followed. Although not won, left me feeling a winner, knowing i would be the only judge of my own success from now on and gave me wide knowledge on large size production organization as well. Observation and analytical skill became my strong virtues.
