She has come to love the desert landscapes of Arizona, but this
immigrant artist from the Ukraine says "I miss the glistening
of the snow on sunny winter days, the diamond sparkling beauty of
frozen forests, the incredible patterns of fantasy plants and animals
that crystallize on winter windows." Inspired by those wonderland
memories, and painting in the 18th century style of country people
who would beautify their homes with floral paintings on the walls
that included birds of paradise and swirls of silver lace, Olena
has created a gorgeous tribute to the magical beauty of winter around
the world.
