Ilya Mirochnik, graduate of the Bridgeview Youth Program.
Ilya Mirochnik began his studies at the Bridgeview School in 2001 and continued through 2005. His instructors were Polina Osnachuk, Felix Sherman, Samuel Kudish, Dimitry Gerrman, and Vitaly Patrov.
In the summer of 2005, he was one of ten Bridgeview students to participate in a one month intensive drawing and painting workshop at the Repin Academy of Fine Arts in St. Petersburg, Russia. During this month, Bridgeview students also took classes with a famous professor of drawing from the St. Petersburg Mukhina Art Academy Professor Pavel Zaitsev.
In 2006, Ilya studied with a former professor of the Repin Academy Leonid Gervits in New York City. Ilya is a winner of several national art awards in the United States. \
After successfully completing one year of preparatory studies at the Repin Academy, Ilya was accepted into the 6 year degree program.
Congratulations to you, Ilya! Bridgeview is very proud of your accomplishments.
