Hi, I am a Ukrainian woman, grew up in the Khmelnytsky region, a satellite city of the  Khmelnitski nuclear power plant.

I have a technical background like my parents and was trained as an engineer, working for years  in a design company, then at a nuclear power plant in Ukraine. Alongside my engineering career, I pursued my passion for art in my free time, creating mixed-media works, leather art pieces, and jewelry from stones and leather, which I sold online. For me, this creative work was initially more of a hobby than a profession. 

When the war in Ukraine began, I was forced to leave my country and relocate to Ireland. Once in Kilkenny, I saw greater opportunities to develop my artistic practice. I enrolled in the Art, Craft and Design programme at VTOS Kilkenny, Ormonde college  where I studied for three years. During that time, our group organised two exhibitions as part of AKA Fringe Festival, named “Togetherness “showcasing students’ work.

 Since my arrival in Kilkenny in 2023, I have also been volunteering at the Butler Gallery, where I have had the opportunity to lead several art and creativity workshops. In Butler Gallery I really enjoy to feel myself connected to art community. 

In 2025 I took a part of the exhibition “TEN Emerging Artists “  throughout the AKA Fringe art festival . This exhibition became an important stage in my creative development.

Also I cooperate with the Kilkenny Volunteer Centre as face painter , Ukrainian centre and held a workshops there . 

 In my artistic practice, I bring together the physical foundations of the world with mathematical principles, weaving sacred geometry and organic, free-form shapes into a unified visual language.
