Carbondale, CO | River Valley Ranch

The "Blue" series of mixed media paintings on canvas from 2023 centers on my Ukrainian-American identity, using imagery from my childhood as a way to honor my grandmother and the warmth she brought into my life. The series of six abstract paintings is anchored by "Blue," 38 x 38 x 2.5" framed, the largest, and includes five 10 x 10 x 1.5" studies.
