Fallbrook's Igor Koutsenko selected as featured artist for Mission Federal ArtWalk

SAN DIEGO – Fallbrook artist Igor Koutsenko has been named one of only 12 featured artists for the 30th anniversary Mission Federal ArtWalk which will take place April 26 and 27 in San Diego. There will be 350 artists participating in the event.

“We were overwhelmed by the incredible quality and diversity of applicants for the featured artist slots,” said Sandi Cottrell, manager director the ArtWalk San Diego. “Each of the featured artists illustrate this year’s celebratory theme of ‘creativity connects’ through their work. They represent some of the most talented, established, and emerging artists in the region.”

Koutsenko teaches drawing and painting at the Fallbrook School of the Arts. He also produces original work in a variety of mediums, including his signature linocut pieces.

Koutsenko is a native of the Ukraine who moved to Southern California, Fallbrook in particular, because the climate and scenery reminded him of his town of Evpatoria.
