CONCERT for IRENE( live at Soapbox Gallery) is inspired by and dedicated to my friend, classmate and truly amazing artist Irina Burdonova-Drujinina. As a result of unspeakable tragedy at the age of 17 her life was changed forever. But battling through the consequences of horrifying injuries, resulting in a lengthy hospitalizations and multiple surgeries, she was still coming back time after time to her piano students, until she finally couldn`t anymore. And then she discovered art. She taught herself all the skills , using YouTube videos, and step by step began experimenting and creating her first works two years ago. And now we have a chance to see her beautiful works in this video, marvel at her amazing talent and admire her ability to overcome tragedy and create fantastic art.
