Title or Location: Fragmented witnesses
My paintings explore identity shaped through trauma, survival, awakening, and transformation. Working intuitively, I allow figures and emotions to emerge organically through layers of texture, distortion, and symbolic imagery. Themes of hypervigilance, fragmentation, dysfunctional family roles, and emotional survival appear throughout the work, reflecting both personal experience and broader human psychology.I use expressive forms, abstraction, and layered surfaces to create emotional tension

My paintings are my means of escape. The world can be so serious and anxiety producing. I prefer to live in a space with more joy and light. These golden retriever brothers always provided me such happiness. If they even bring a momentary smile, then I have achieved my goal.

?Dumy? is a deep reflection on life and destiny, our fears, worries, and the constant search for answers. It is about the past we cannot fully let go of and the future we are sometimes afraid of. At the same time, the bright colours remind us that not everything unknown is dark ? sometimes something vivid and beautiful is waiting for us beyond our fears &10024The work is created in the traditional Ukrainian folk art style of Petrykivka painting using a plant stem( rohozynka) and a brush ma

I always keep an eye out for photo opportunities to consider for paintings. Fortunately, many of the paintings I have made are from photos taken on or near our home in Baltimore County.
