My name is Alina and I'm 21 years old. I'm a senior at the College of New Rochelle, graduating in Spring of 2009. I will have a Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) Degree, with Studio Art as a major and Art History as a minor. I plan to pursue a Masters of Fine Arts (MFA) with a concentration in New Media or Installation Art.

I'm a versatile artist who enjoys experimenting with an array of media. I primarily work in realism and prefer to depict natural forms as opposed to abstract. I'm deeply inspired by nature and, as evident in many of my pieces, I often utilize it as a source to foster my creativity. Art is an outlet for me to explore those issues that I am passionate about, most notably concerning animals and our relationships with them.
