Natalia Shutiak

Natalia lived in the cozy Ukrainian city of Rivne with her three beautiful children. She graduated from the Pedagogy University with a degree in Art Education. For more than 15 years, she had built a successful career as the owner and art director of a well-known design company. However, the war that came to Ukraine in 2022 devastated Natalia's life. To save her children, she left everything behind to escape the war, danger, and unrest. Now, Natalia is starting to build a career as an artist in Chicago. She understands that achieving success in a new country is challenging, but she does what she loves and believes that every step and every day brings her closer to her dream. Her abstract art, filled with deep meaning, conveys her pain and joy, doubts and challenges, and her search and discovery, as well as a deep belief in the beauty of the surrounding world. She hopes that her paintings will resonate with others and bring beauty into people's homes.
