Alisa Minyukova
Poet Alexander Pushkin, bronze.
John Lennon, clay.
Alisa Minyukova was born in Russia. At the age of 6 she emigrated to the United States with her parents. From an early age, she was interested in art. She attended the famous LaGuardia High School for Visual and Performing Arts in New York City and then studied at the Fashion Institute of Technology. Having experienced a lot of frustration due to the lack of classical training in America, she decided to move back to St. Petersburg and take exams to the famous Mukhina Academy of Art. Alisa spent 6 years at the Academy and graduated with honors. She has recently joined Bridgeview, where she teaches sculpture, drawing, and art history. The above drawings were done in class at the Mukhina Academy of Art.
