I’m also very happy to share some exciting finalist news. My artwork has been selected as a finalist in the Lethbridge Gallery Small Scale Art Award 2026 in Brisbane, with the exhibition taking place during August 2026. In addition, I have been selected as a finalist in the 9×5 Landscape Art Prize 2026 at Waverley Woollahra Art School, with the finalist exhibition opening in September 2026.
And there is even more to look forward to — my next solo exhibition is coming in September. I’ll be sharing details of this new body of work very soon, so stay tuned for the official announcement.
Thank you, as always, for following my artistic journey and supporting my work. I hope to see some of you at one of the exhibitions this month.
April 2026 I hosted two intimate painting workshops, each with its own seasonal story. The second one was inspired by European Easter traditions, light-filled spring mornings, and daffodils as their purest embodiment of renewal. ✨ Easter Light & Daffodils Workshop ✨ A hands-on painting workshop held alongside my solo exhibition at Art Space Gallery. We’ll work with simple sculptural techniques using impasto medium and acrylic paint, exploring how light gently settles on form — creating luminous highlights, soft shadows, and a subtle relief surface. This workshop is about slowing down, creating with intention, and building an Easter mood with your own hands. Calm, welcoming, and designed for all skill levels.

My journey with jewellery began in 2008, after a workshop in Kyiv sparked my curiosity about working on a small, intimate scale. What started as experimentation soon grew into a deeper fascination with adornment as both object and cultural expression. My interest truly ignited while curating a fashion show of traditional Ukrainian clothing. Immersing myself in the richness of these garments led me to closely study traditional Ukrainian multi-row jewellery — its structure, symbolism, rhythm, and presence. These pieces are more than decoration; they carry history, identity, and a strong visual language. Since then, I have created hundreds of jewellery pieces, each one informed by that tradition while shaped through my own contemporary sensibility. Working at this scale allows for precision, repetition, and variation — a dialogue between heritage and personal expression. Jewellery, for me, is another way of telling stories through form and material — wearable, tactile, and closely connected to the body.
