Daughter of Ukraine-Dochka Ukrayiny-original art

An original woodcut print edition of a traditional Ukrainian folk dress and embroidered blouse. This is based on my research into Ukrainian embroidery throughout the centuries.  This totemic image is the result of multiple rough sketches, and represents a traditional smock of red wool embellished with black applique, worn over a folk blouse of white cotton with colorful embroidery details on sleeves, collar, and bodice.

To really drive home the dramatic and desperate situation Ukraine finds itself in, I drew blue pencil lines around the garment and on each line, written with pencil, are the names of villages, and towns that have been damaged or destroyed by missile strikes and bombings of public buildings. 

There are 9 numbered woodcuts in the edition plus 1 A/P. #1/9 has been framed and is on view at my studio. The size of the print is 30"hx24 1/2"w.  It is printed on  Japanese Okawara paper, my favorite paper to print with. 

The retail price of each unframed woodcut artwork, is $1200. One half of the sale price will be sent to select Ukrainian relief organizations of my choice. The collectors who purchase one of the edition will be informed as to the relief organization chosen.

This is what I can do, this is what I am able to give.

See my recent blog, Rough Sketch,  post here on my site: My Dream is that this will be my last artwork for Ukrainian relief.
