{"Id":7944,"Name":"Anastasiya Chybireva Fender","Biography":"\u003Cp\u003EAnastasiya was born in Ukraine and immigrated with her parents to the US when she was fourteen. She started drawing and painting in her early childhood and received figure-based atelier training growing up. Anastasiya\u0026rsquo;s meandering path in visual arts educational took her through the rigors of earning Bachelor\u0027s and Master\u0027s degrees in architecture from The Cooper Union and University of Texas at Arlington, respectively. She has received additional training with established realist painters both privately and in workshops. The concoction of architectural rigor, purity of realism and strong personal narrative define Anastasiya\u0026rsquo;s work today. She has been awarded recognition by the National Portrait Society, Connecticut Society of Portrait Artists, Wausau Museum of Contemporary Art, Poets Artists, and many others. Anastasiya\u0026rsquo;s work has been published in Beautiful Bizarre, and many Goss183 issues. Anastasiya\u0026rsquo;s work is available at by 33 Contemporary gallery in Chicago. Her work is also found in private collections across United States as well as Germany, Russia and Ukraine.
