That’s precisely why I would like to share these paintings, which were created in San Diego County and reflect the light and landscapes that inspire me every day. It is my goal to build a bridge between the modern impressionistic paintings I have created here in California with South-East Ukrainian Impressionistic Art and Inspire us all to live and feel life!” Visit: unionhallgallery.org/exhibitions/ Vira Ustianska on Facebook / Instagram
