Polina is thought to be one of the first casualties of Putin’s land grab. Her and her family were fleeing Kyiv when Russian troops attacked their car killing everyone in her family except her sister. 28 Feb 2022 Photo: Getty Images/Volodymyr Bondarenko Polina was painted on a 4 x 3 foot birch panel with oil paints. A woman said to me, I am so sick of hearing about Ukraine. I thought. well yeah, me too, but what about the Ukrainians? Everyday they have to live through it. It is missiles exploding in their cities, in their neighbor hoods, in their homes. And we complain when we see a couple of minutes about it on the news. I am doing what I can to generate donations for the refugees. All profits from the sales of my Ukrainian Refugee Paintings and prints will be donated to Ukrainian Refugee relief. I have painted over 100 Ukrainian Refugee portraits.
