Bavonvna - Greeting Card by Nastia Craig

Artist Statement: The pieces I submitted were created as the war in Ukraine broke through and my mind frame was definitely within the events as they were unfolding. The images are abstract in nature, but I think that titles should give a clue to the viewers about this connection.  The media I am using is acrylic paints and art markers on the Dura-lar acetate layers that are collaged to a substrate and coated with gloss resin finish. 5" x 7"  Greeting Cards, Smooth White Heavyweight (run of 21), Envelope, Card Sleeves About the Artists: Anastasiya (Nastia for short) Craig was born and raised in Odessa, Ukraine where she studied drawing, painting and composition since childhood. She came to the United States at the age of 17 to study Interior Design in the state of New York. Upon receiving BFA in Interior Design at New York Institute of Technology she moved to Madison, WI where she currently resides and owns her independent Interior Design practice Pink House Designs, LLC.

She often uses her knowledge in both art and design to blend these two specialties together, allowing them to be a source of inspiration for each other one in her professional work.
