Lira's artistic talent was discovered early,
as she finished her first portrait at 6 years of age.
She was privately tutored in Russia and received numerous
awards.
Before immigrating to the United States, Lira
traveled to Rome and Vienna where she was inspired to paint
from many of the great masters. Her favored medium is oil in
the Classical Realism style. Lira incorporates rich,
contrasting colors in her artwork, with emotion and drama.
Residing in the Washington D.C. area, Lira specializes in
custom artwork, murals, interior decorating, and CAD design.
