in Rome. Metropolitan Audrey Sheptytsky recognized the talent of young Yuvinaliy and sent him to the Lviv Academy of Fine Arts and later to Greece for further studies. Rev, Mokrytsky accepted Daria as his student. She spent two summers learning his technique and absorbing his philosophy. Although she could not live within the confines of the monastery, she was permitted to use the church and studio entrances. She joined the monks for morning, noon and evening prayers and eventually for the noon meal in the refectory. During her second summer at the monastery studio, Daria helped Rev. Mokrytsky paint an iconostasis for the Cathedral of St. Josephat in Parma. In her own work, Daria tries to follow the traditions of Ukrainian iconography. Her lines are strong and distinct and rhythmically placed. Her forms are rounded. The colors are lively and gold is often used as a background. Her images engage the beholder, conveying a feeling of tranquility, a spiritual quality. They truly fulfill their basic purpose - to represent eternal truth. Daria Kulchytsky's icons are featured in two publications: For You Holy Ukraine, published by Bukovyna Publishing in 1998, and A History of the Ukrainian Icon in the 10th to 20th Centuries, published by Lybid Publishing Company in 1996. She completed sanctuary icons for St. Anne's Ukrainian Catholic Church in Austintown, Ohio in 1999 and for St. Michael's Ukrainian Catholic Church in Cherry Hill, New Jersey in 1993. She has also created schematic layouts and icon designs for other churches. Ms. Kulchytsky has been featured in numerous exhibits, including one hosted at the Ukrainian Embassy in Washington, DC in 1999.
