Hi, I’m Olga — a Ukrainian-Canadian artist and digital designer based in Newmarket, Ontario. My creative journey started in Kryvyi Rih, Ukraine, where I was the kid always sketching, painting, and dreaming in colors.

Life took me on an adventurous path — from teaching computer science and mentoring kids in digital graphics, to designing interactive educational software in Bogotá, Colombia, to building a career in Canada as a graphic, web, and digital product designer. Along the way, I picked up Photoshop, Illustrator, other design tools, and a lifelong love for design.

But painting has always been my happy place. For years, between raising my two sons and working full-time, I squeezed creativity into every spare corner of life. When my boys grew up, I finally returned to the canvas — experimenting with oils, acrylics, resin, and mixed media. I adore painting flowers, faces, and anything that lets me play with texture, gold leaf, sparkle, and bold color.

When the world slowed down in 2020, painting became both therapy and joy. My “Happy Place” series grew out of that time — bright, feel-good works I shared with friends. After the war began in Ukraine, my art became a way to give back. My painting "Oxana. Praying for Ukraine" raised more than $2000 in donations, and I continue to sell art and prints to support my friends and family back home.

I’m endlessly grateful for my creative path across Ukraine, Colombia, and Canada — and for every person who has supported me, collected my art, or simply stopped to look.

Thank you for visiting my little world. I hope my art brings you as much joy as I feel while creating it. Let’s connect — I’d love to hear what you think!

With love, Olga 🌸🎨✨
