A native of Russia, Irina Mirskaya always has been fascinated

with art. When she paints, Irina says, she lives in a fantasy

world of fairy tales and childhood memories. Irina enjoys both

digital imaging and conventional painting with watercolor,

gouache, dyes and pen and ink. Irina is working in a field of

design and illustration. Her experience includes working as a

designer/stylist in textile industry, teaching art at Otis

College and publishing greeting cards.

Irina works and lives in Long Beach, CA with her husband and two children.
