I would love to paint like the old masters

Artwork by Irina Shapiro-Dimarsky

Hi, my name is Irina Shapiro.
I picked up the painting brush 2 yrs ago and my life has changed since. It was a calling. I never painted before and didn’t know how.

I am interested in portraits mostly, and would love to paint like old masters.

My favorite artist is Rembrandt. Last year I went to Amsterdam to see how he used to live. I am very passionate and give 150 percent to developing myself everyday. I my intention is to bring healing with my art. I used to be a healer before I picked up the painting brush.

It would be very meaningful to win the Old Masters Academy Course. Some day I would love to teach others how to paint.

Thank you for your vote,
Irina
