This is a picture I painted of my daughter Hannah who is a dancer in the Maky Ukrainian Dance Ensemble. They perform at several events each year, and at the annual Folklore festival in Kingston Ontario. The Ukrainian-Canadian Club of Kingston promotes Folklore. Every year, people from Kingston and beyond come together to celebrate Canadian-Ukrainian culture. This year marks 45 years of continuous participation in Folklore. Enjoy!

For me, it is a way to revisit my childhood and to convey the message that all of us should stop our busy lives, even if it is only briefly, and reflect how we all were when we were young.
