Vladimir Ilich Teniaev graduated from Moscow University as a software engineer in 1986, worked with different graphic software products for IBM for two years - long enough to realize that real art is always created by man's hand. He changed the field of work and started to paint under supervision of his friends, prominent Russian artists Niolai Shuriguin (Portrait class), Ivan Dmitriev (Still Life Class), Vladimir Sokovnin (Olain Air Studies).

Claudette Haba lives in New Jersey and always has several pieces available. She works in oils and watercolors. Claudette will always have several pieces in various stages of development and is very interested in the surrounding historical significance of the area in which she lives. Claudette has had several exhibitions in New Jersey, Maine, Connecticut and New York City. I have known claudette Haba for almost twenty-five years and her body of work is most impressive. Her ability to render a painting in oil or watercolor with equal acumen has always impressed me. She also introduced me to the joy of Calvados, and she enjoys playing the guitar, which I can also relate to.
Claudette Haba 1948-1999I first met Claudette Haba in 1976 following an art exhibit in which we both had work. We immediately developed a friendship, which spanned over two decades. Together, we went whale watching, we attended concerts, ballets and art exhibits, played guitar together, weathered many relationships with other people and most importantly, we journeyed through our development as artists for an incredible ride which was always one of discovery. She always encouraged me when I had low periods in my life as well as my art and I did my best to reciprocate, not just out of appreciation, but out of respect for not only a fine artist, but at the core of it all, an extremely sensitive and interesting individual. Claudette was truly a unique creation of God. Sadly, and with profound sorrow, our journey through life as friends and colleagues ended on Sunday, the fifth of December, when Claudette passed away suddenly. I spoke to her just last week and discussed our Millennium Project, which she had just finished. Although I will not be able to journey with her through the rest of my life, I know she will always be a part of me for the rest of my time here. Something of her will always be in my work, because she was a a part of my art for such a long time. Her obituary read, Miss Haba is survived by her mother, two brothers and a sister. This is not entirely true. She is also survived by so many friends that will always carry with them the memory of this person, who herself was a masterpiece. She is also survived by her artwork. We discussed many times the importance of our art. As we agreed, the art is our reason for being alive. We believed that. I will miss that aspect for I know it will be impossible to replace someone who was so tuned in to my philosophy. As I go it alone from here, my wife Jaclyn and children Schuyler and Rianna share this loss with Claudette's family, friends, co-workers, and the community. Good-bye for now, my dear friend.

My son. Sky has watched me paint for years. When he and I were home alone and I wanted to paint, he would just sit and watch me. One day, he asked if he could try to paint. This was his first painting. He liked the ambiguity of signing his painting "Sky" since it was both the subject and his name. At the time Sky completed this painting, he was six years old. He continues to paint. Check here in the future to see new paintings by Schuyler Polin.
