Final Chapter: 2022 – 2025
After Russia launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February, 2022, I decided to help Ukraine. I created a website: https://www.russiandissidentart4ukraine.com
The link explains the full history of that decision.
For the year 2022 I sent $10,000 to https://AssistUkraine.org
I exhibited all my old art work that I could find and sold over 20 items. I added that to two of the art works from the Russian dissident art that sold.
In 2023 I again was able to raise $10,000 for Ukraine. I created new art, which you can see in Chapter 7: When I Fell in Love
I played with textural works:
Animal Portraits
I offered to paint animal portraits to help raise money.
And then the beginning of a new series:
“What Makes Night May Leave Stars Within Us”
