SUMMARY:Spring Has Sprung Art Market
DESCRIPTION:Celebrate spring with sparkle from Candlelight Jewelry and friends! Come and find paintings\, mosaics\, traditional crafts\, handmade jewelry and more at this special pop-up market\, featuring Ukrainian and Ukrainian-American artists from Greater Hartford and beyond! \nNote on payment: Artists accept cash (preferred)\, check\, Venmo\, and PayPal. \n  \nFeatured artists include: \nFelix Freudzon is a figurative and portrait artist based in West Hartford\, CT\, who specializes in re-imagining classical art styles. \nVictoria Starzef is a mosaic artist from Glastonbury\, CT\, who finds inspiration in cats\, dogs\, traveling\, and nature. Her background in oil painting and ceramics has given her a unique frame of reference to approach glass mosaicking. \nIrina Hizhytsa makes Ukrainian-American dolls. She studied with Slavic doll master artist Natalia Ledomskaya\, whose work attracted her heart and soul. Made with care from knitted fiber and macrame\, she has also studied with Alla Popova and is expanding her doll-making adventure to include plastic. For Irina\, dolls brim with energy and positivity\, and all of them are assistants in everyday life. \nCandlelight Jewelry’s selection of imported folk art and fine art from the Ukrainian School of Art for Children and other Ukrainian artists\, including: \nNicolas Zalevsky\, based in Farmington CT\, a painter whose works evoke surrealism\, magic realism\, and photorealism. Educated at the Ukrainian Academy of Printing and the Shevchenko State Art School\, his work has been recognized and exhibited locally and internationally. \nLuba Kuper\, a candlemaker specializing in natural beeswax candles. Beyond decoration\, these candles are a source of light\, peace\, and positive energy\, and each one is crafted with great love and care for the environment. \nYelena Kirshon\, a jewelry-maker and painter whose first experiences with art were in the Ukrainian School of Art for children\, learning the techniques of painting traditional Ukrainian flowers\, “Petrivcky rospusu.” She works as an art teacher in two retirement communities in West Hartford\, and she regularly organizes art markets to benefit the Ukrainian School of Art for children. \nSee more at https://www.etsy.com/shop/CandlelightJewelry.
