I am a Ukrainian-American artist and non-profit founder based in San Francisco. My work is driven by the conviction that when privacy erodes, power concentrates. Through painting, murals, digital media, and mixed-reality experiments, I examine how these systems colonize perception: how what we see, fear, or desire is increasingly designed rather than chosen. Intimate behavioral data becomes fuel for algorithmic systems that reward outrage, amplify falsehoods, and destabilize trust at scale.

As both an artist and a mother, I explore what it means to raise a human being within infrastructures optimized for surveillance and behavioral control. I use beauty as an act of resistance: a way of insisting on slowness, reflection, and hope inside an economy built to fragment attention.

Alongside my painting practice, I am a co-founder of several non-profit initiatives, including the SHACK15 Art Prize, Art Bae, Private Practice Art Residency, Paint the Void, Safety Net Fund, and Art for Civil Discourse. These projects are rooted in the belief that cultural resilience is a form of collective defense. Through these initiatives, my collaborators and I have directed over 1.5 dollars into the hands of Bay Area artists since 2020.

My practice sits at the intersection of art and civic responsibility, committed to making visible the unseen forces shaping our reality and to reclaiming imagination, privacy, and agency in an increasingly algorithmic world.
