Ptashka Arts is a collection of printed artwork and paper goods, with a Ukrainian twist.

I have always loved printed *things* - anything printed! Stationery, artwork, illustrations, etc... (I also fell in love with an Illustrator - fancy that!). I am second-generation Canadian but my Ukrainian heritage has always played a dominant role in my daily life, and I find I am frequently drawn to Ukrainian-themed or ethnic folk art. In contrast, as a graphic designer, my aesthetic is simple, modern, and contemporary... and so, my Ptashka creations bring together my ethnic background and my love for contemporary design.

Ptashka Arts began quite spontaneously in December 2013 when I designed a few Ukrainian Christmas cards and they became instantly popular, shipping worldwide in a matter of a few weeks. Since then, I've been developing my line of contemporary stationery and greeting cards as well as some Ukrainian prints for children. My work is unique, fresh and modern, and not mass-produced, and appeals to both younger and more mature generations of Ukrainians in Canada and abroad.

My cards are printed and assembled in my home to ensure a quality product. I use premium papers and cardstocks, far superior to those found in many shops, and hand-package everything myself. The Giclée prints are printed by a local fine art printer, and they are of superior archival print quality.

Have an idea but not the means to execute it? Custom requests are warmly welcomed! I'm always open to suggestions and love to stretch myself creatively. I also do custom special event invitation designs and corporate branding development.
