Eastern European Folk art pottery, ceramics, and pysanky
I am a self-taught artist working in the traditional folk arts of pysanky (Ukrainian Easter eggs) and ceramics. I live in rural Washington County in upstate New York, making my home in Greenwich and working from my studio in nearby Cambridge. Surrounded by fields, forests, and quiet roads, I draw daily inspiration from the natural beauty of my surroundings.
I share my love of pysanky through hands-on teaching, offering classes for both children and adults throughout the region. My work is displayed and sold in art shops and galleries across upstate New York and Vermont. I am a member of the Valley Artisans Market cooperative and work closely with the Ukrainian community to share the beauty, history, and joy of pysanky with anyone who is curious to learn.
More recently, I have expanded my practice to include jewelry design. I create porcelain jewelry using traditional porcelain decorative techniques, often incorporating metal lusters and semi-precious stones. Each piece is treated as a small-scale artwork, carefully designed and handmade, resulting in jewelry that is original, expressive, and truly one of a kind.
