Slava is Ukraine’s Goddess of Victory

#SlavaUkraini is our cry which means victory to Ukraine and peace across all nations. Despite our passport nationalities, we are all human and deserve to live freely and safely.

I am a Ukrainian-American artist who lives near Lake Tahoe. It has been devastating to watch my friends, family, and countrymen fight for their lives in Ukraine and not be able to help. Many of you have asked me how you can help, and I have set up relationships with several organizations who are actively supporting Ukraine.

10 years ago, I painted Slava as a part of my “Ukrainian Spirit-Beyond Borders” series of paintings to share and preserve vibrant Ukrainian traditions and rituals that help people grow strong and encourage people to live life fully on Ukrainian land and beyond. The original oil painting is 30” by 40”. I am offering prints of this painting to raise money for Ukraine, and will donate all proceeds to the following trusted and effective organizations and teams:

WeareAlight.org– supporting  families

RazomforUkraine.org – Medical supplies

Comebackalive.in.ua – Defense needs

novaukraine.org – Humanitarian aid

voices.org.ua/en/ – Children – psychological and psychosocial support

https://zbieram.pl/chwalaukrainie – Frontline supplies between Poland and Ukraine

rememberus.org – Humanitarian aid directly to people
