“I’m learning to rebuild my inner peace. So my paintings can’t be about anything else.”

Hi, my name is Ira. I’m really glad you’re reading this.

​

Let me tell you a little bit about myself.

​

I was born in Ukraine. But one day in 2022 I woke up to the sound of exploding missiles and my life completely changed. After the war started, I began to think “What do I REALLY want to do in my life?”. My creative background gave me the answer very quickly — to paint.

​

So here I am.

​

Now I’m an artist based in Fort Langley. I’m deeply inspired by the natural beauty of BC and the process of rebuilding my inner peace. And I’m so grateful to everyone who decided to be a part of my journey, whether it’s a supportive word said or a painting purchased!
