I’m a Ukrainian-born immigrant, who made NH into my forever home. I’m a photographer, a gardener, a birdwatcher, a storyteller – a New Hampshire Artist, with a studio in Bedford, NH. I work primarily with acrylic, ink & watercolor. My inspiration comes from wildlife, but I also appreciate local landscapes and often paint en plein air. With acrylics, I rely on impressionism and vivid colors to show off the natural beauty of our local wildlife, and often work from the photographs I take myself. With ink and watercolor, I often resort to quick, loose sketches. And even though I have only begun to pursue my career as an artist two years ago, I already sold close to 100 pieces of artwork, participated in numerous exhibits, organized a fundraiser art show to benefit Live and Let Live Farm Rescue in Chichester, held an art retreat at Mount Washington Resort at Bretton Woods, NH, and even have a scheduled public art installation (Bedford Bulldogs) in front of our town Public Library in Bedford, NH (August, 2017.)
