Hi! My name is Olya Tkachenko. I am a Toronto-based Multidisciplinary Visual Artist. I received my Fine Arts education in Ukraine, where I studied classical drawing, painting, sculpture, and art history.

I love our rich national art traditions and hope you might see their impact on my palette. I work with various media such as oil, soft pastel, watercolors, batiks, etc., and love combining folklore techniques with modern concepts. 

In 2014, my family and I moved to Canada.

My experience in Canada included work at the Ukrainian Museum of Canada, leading a private art school, and many years of freelance work in the visual arts. I exhibited my works in Ukraine, France, and Canada, and created dozens of children's books.
