In March 2025, True Blue & a Little Bit of Yellow presented a fundraising exhibition titled The Spirit of the Peninsula at Northern Beaches Gallery, Cromer.
Running from 8–22 March, the exhibition invited visitors to walk through the familiar rhythms of the peninsula — its streets, bushland, and the light-filled beaches of North Sydney. The works reflected a strong sense of place while remaining deeply connected to broader stories of belonging and care.
At its heart, The Spirit of the Peninsula was about building a bridge between Australia and Ukraine. Through art, the exhibition created a space for connection, support, and generosity during challenging times, reminding us that local landscapes can carry global meaning.
Right to Be Free was an art exhibition by True Blue & a Little Bit of Yellow, created to mark Ukraine’s Independence Day and presented as part of the Freedom. Courage. Culture. performance at Sydney Town Hall in August 2024. The exhibition focused on fundamental human rights and freedoms — values currently under severe threat in Ukraine due to the unlawful Russian invasion. The visual artworks deliberately reflected the joyful, life-affirming aspects of freedom, while accompanying posters addressed the specific rights being violated. This contrast invited viewers to reflect on what freedom means, and what is at stake when it is taken away. Presented in the heart of Sydney, the exhibition formed part of a broader cultural program celebrating Ukrainian identity, resilience, and independence.
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.
