23 July 2026 — PALANGI GALLERY 59 Flinders Street Surry Hills NSW 2010
I am participating in Nature of Australia, a group exhibition at Palangi Gallery celebrating the beauty and diversity of the Australian landscape through the eyes of women artists from a wide range of cultural backgrounds.
Although each artist brings a unique perspective and artistic style, we are united by a shared appreciation for Australia's remarkable natural environment. Through different mediums, the exhibition reflects our personal connections to the land, its native flora, and the places that inspire us.
I will contribute with artworks from my bush and ocean series. It is a great pleasure to exhibit alongside such a talented group of artists and to contribute to this celebration of nature.

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.
I am delighted to share that my artwork Light Between Us has been selected as a finalist in the North Sydney Winter Art Prize 2026. This piece continues my exploration of Australia's natural landscape through texture, light, and colour. Created with acrylic and texture paste on a wooden panel, Light Between Us invites viewers to pause and appreciate the quiet beauty found in nature and the subtle connections that exist between trees, light, and the people who experience them.

It is an honour to have my work exhibited alongside so many inspiring artists.
