Prints for Ukraine! All proceeds from prints of this new watercolor painting of Veselka will go to hospitals in the Ukraine. Art prints available via the link in bio or https://etsy.me/3JfTdg6

I was thinking of what I could do to help support Ukraine, and decided to make a painting of Veselka--the East Village's renowned Ukrainian restaurant. I also love that the word "veselka" means "rainbow" in Ukrainian. Then, I was in touch with Veselka about wanting to support Ukraine with print sales, and they recommended choosing a vetted charity via Razon for Ukraine to find one that resonates.

Painting: "Veselka", Watercolor and pencil on paper, 9"x12", 2022.

Three by Athena Petra Tasiopoulos

The artwork on sale benefits both the artist and the organization. Athena Petra Tasiopoulos is a mixed media collage artist and fine art photographer. She writes, "My imagination is continuously lured by the mystery of forgotten imagery. It is as if the subjects in these found photos exist in an interesting sort of limbo–simultaneously trapped yet saved within the photograph. I find myself feeling compassion for them. By re-inventing the portrait, I aim to disjoint my subjects from an antiquated identity, allowing them to transcend the constraints of time and place." MORE
