Olha Hrytsiuk and Ivanka Petrukha
Olha and Ivanka are accomplished multi-medium artists who taught art therapy in Ukraine before and during the war. As a Mother-Daughter artistic team, they owned an art studio near the border, and stayed until there was no choice but to flee. As recent refugees, Ivanka and Olha are learning English at Spokane Community College.
They are excited to be part of the Terracotta Pullman team and sharing the joy and processes of creating again. Ivanka and Olha are skilled educators and demonstrate their joy and talents through accessible techniques. They empower those around them to get messy and set themselves free through a joyful, creative process. Both find inspiration in the seasons and natural world, and are inspired to celebrate simply being alive.
