As a teenager, artist IRINA KOREN immigrated to United States from Russia in 1991. Making art is her way of connecting cultures. In her paintings, she focuses on uncovering layers of human perception of the world and our place in it through juxtaposition of colors, textures, and concepts. Irina strives to evoke emotion and start a dialogue about the important concepts of modern life, our role in it, and the problems we are facing. She finds beauty in ordinary objects that inspire her artwork and wants to challenge the viewer to see familiar things in a new way. Irina earned a BA in Visual Communication from Maryland Institute College of Art. Irina enjoys helping her students find their creative voice. It is very rewarding to see art bring more joy and beauty into their lives.
