Kateryna is a graduate of the Mykhailo Boichuk Kyiv State Academy of Decorative Applied Arts and Design. But the war affected even this shrine: during the Russian missile strike, the painting department and the archive of student works were damaged, and her thesis was also destroyed. For Kateryna, it was especially painful: Because within the walls of the academy she did not just study - her identity was formed. By profession, she is an artist-embroiderer, she chose a path where every thread has meaning, every image - its depth. Her art is a way to preserve Ukrainian culture, even when everything is collapsing.
