Name/Title

20 Yelena Khristovich - Western Park

Description

Yelena was born in the Ukraine and came to the U.S. in 1998. She began doing art with AWE six years ago, but a broken wrist interrupted her art-making. Her art teacher gave her exercises to help her recover from the trauma. She likes to paint in what she calls “Ukrainian style.” She also enjoys sewing, embroidery, and knitting–a skill she uses to make blankets for babies in the neo-natal unit.
