12 “НАШЕ ЖИТТЯ”, ЛИПЕНЬ - СЕРПЕНЬ 2009 Our Life Cover Halyna Markiw informs us that her artistic life began in 1962 when her husband B ohdan discovered her talent for drawing. With his encouragement, she began taking private painting lessons. Eager to learn, Halyna continued her art studies; in 1964, she was invited to exhibit her work at the Ukrainian Artists Association in New York. Fur ther studies followed at a professional art school in New Haven Connecticut, where she mastered new techniques in oil painting, pastels, and watercolor. In 1965, she began to participate in a number of local group exhibitions in New Haven, Hartford, Grazhd a in Hunter, and numerous other venues. Her work was also featured in individual exhibits at the University of New Haven, Tolland Arts Center, the Bank of Hartford in Colchester, and in Ukrainian galleries: Ksenia in Hunter, Soyuzivka, the Heritage Center in New Haven, and others. Halyna’s commissioned work includes “Holy Tomb” and “Hutsul Church” for the church and parish home in Colchester and “Easter Pysanky” for St. Michael’s Church in New Haven. She donated “Sun - flowers,” the work featured on this mont h’s cover of Our Life as a lottery prize for the Ukrainian Museum in New York. The artist’s subject matter ranges from portraits to landscapes to still - life and frequently features subtexts and themes, such as the four seasons and the power of nature. Her beautiful flowers, in particular sunflowers, are appreciated by many and are proudly displayed in the homes of Ukrainian and American art collectors. Artist Halyna Markiw is a member of UNWLA Branch 108. She has served as branch president several times. The Ukrainian Male’s DNA: The GAZDA Gene at Work by DMZ Our house and home of thirty - five years was built at the time when America was driving long and wide gas guzzlers, thus our two car garage is quite large and even has open rafters for ad - dition al storage. The garage is my husband’s do - main. He does not keep cars in it, however. Just everything else. One corner of the garage is full of car parts — every car we have ever owned (and there have been many) is represented. There is a wall of assorted ro pe and string of every conceivable length and thickness, some dating back to the long defunct old Sears & Roebuck Pick - up Warehouse in Philadelphia. There is also a large collection of green broomsticks. These date back to my father who would collect the b rooms t icks on trash day in his old city neighborhood, paint them green, and give them to my husband to support tomato plants. My husband, who has been using wire frames to support the tomato plants, keeps the broom sticks out of affection for my father. T he garage also houses an assortment of wooden and metal ladders, ranging from three steps to thirty feet. Almost everyone in the neighborhood has borrowed each of these at some time or other. There are also plenty of tools — hand tools and power tools, garde n t ools and cleaning tools . . . after all, “the difference between man and ape is the ability to use tools.” There are pieces of plaster - board, plywood, lumber, glass, Plexiglas, Formica, and old carpets. These “pieces” stand against the wall like a giant patchwork quilt, testifying to the color of our first kitchen counters, our wall paneling in the old family room, and all the old floor covering we once had. High in the rafters of the garage are the family heirlooms. Our first table and chairs (a weddin g present from my father - in - law), hardwood Видання C оюзу Українок A мерики - перевидано в електронному форматі в 2012 році . A рхів C У A - Ню Йорк , Н . Й .
