Supporting Ukrainian Artisans
Some of the world’s best known artists and their artworks have inspired others to design other pieces in homage. But one of the most challenging media to do so is in beadwork.
Hanna explains :
I have started creating these pieces of jewelry with my sister Oksana. We have both studied art design at the Lviv Academy of Arts in Ukraine. Initially, creating jewelry was our long-standing hobby, but after our art school training, we decided to launch a small business. We have been producing beaded jewelry for over 8 years. Over these years we had lived and worked together. Since I got married last year, I moved to another place, so now we are working separately.
Hanna lives and works in Lviv which is a large city in the western part of the Ukraine. Lviv is still relatively unscathed so she is still able to ship her work.

Again, I marvel at Hanna’s skill for capturing the spirit of Edgar Degas’ (1834-1917) work featuring ballerinas.
