Our Cover Artist Vera Gaidoch was born in the United States. She resides in Hunter and is actively involved in the life of the Ukrainian community of this beautiful town in the Catskill Mountains. “There are moments of immense stillness surrounding our church in winter,” writes the artist about her photograph of St. John the Baptist Church in Hunter. “I forget the ‘must do’ and ‘to do’ lists and imagine that I am hearing a beautiful old Christmas carol: I wonder as I wander out under the sky— How Jesus, the Savior, did come for to die. For poor, ornery people like you and like I. I wonder as I wander out under the sky.” Vera Gaidoch is a figurative painter working in various mediums. She graduated from New York Univer- sity and from the School of Visual Arts in Manhattan. She has a Master’s Degree in Fine Arts (painting and drawing) from Brooklyn College and has exhibited in group shows in NYC and upstate New York, including the annual summer exhibit at Grazhda in Hunter.
