20 “НАШЕ ЖИТТЯ”, ЧЕРВЕНЬ 2011 My father had an innate love for animals, something I first learned when I got my first dog, w hich soon became more his than mine as they enjoyed many hours hanging out together and sharing adventures. The same thing happened with other, later dogs, and he grieved over each and every one when they died. As my father aged, his entire body showed th e signs of the hard work in life. Working with meat for 23 years, he had to have surgeries on his hands s o that he could use them, and he was not happy during the recovery because he was unable to do much of anything for weeks. But even as he aged, he rem ained what he had been: a very simple man of very deep faith, very strong convictions, and undying decency. He had made his own success. He had met and befriended many remarkable people who helped him along the way, and he blessed them all. The image I li ke best of those I carry in my heart and in my photo collection is one of my father relaxing at our camp in the summertime. There is a smirk on his face as if he is remembering some secret joke. Smirk Our Cover Artist Tania Szumskyj Blanco is a n artist and teacher who entered the world of art as an award - winning shutterbug while living in Buffalo, New York. She has since pursued a fine art education in Canada and in the United States through private and independent study. Tania has exhibited her work at the National Health Sciences University in group and solo shows, at DePaul University, and at numerous miscellaneous galleries. Her art is in private collections in Canada, the United States, and New Zealand. While she enjoys experimenting with va rious art techniques, styles, and media, her favorite medium is the collage. For the last five years, she has served as president, vice president, and education coordinator for the Midwest Collage Society. She currently lives, works, and creates in the Chi cago area. As a collage artist, I gather, rearrange, reprocess, reuse, and manipulate images, messages, colors, and objects through multiple layers. A fascination with ephemera inspires me to think out of the box and juxtapose or superimpose fragments o f prose, poetry, sheet music, or pages from books and magazines with stone, paper, metal, plastic, paint, wood, crayon, drawings, photographs, symbols, and other objects or materials. Rather than reproducing the real world, I endeavor to express a mood, an idea, a puzzle, or a memory. Chance determines what materials I find and when I combine them, and this serendipitous blending becomes my palette. The theme that evolves often mirrors the environment in which I am working — place, time, events, and people th at have touched my day and shaped my mood. – Tania Szumskyj Blanco Видання C оюзу Українок A мерики - перевидано в електронному форматі в 2012 році .
