About

About

Ania Safko is a Ukrainian visual artist residing in the Texas Hill Country, which became her second home after the occupation of Crimea in 2014. In her work she strives to share the moments of interconnectedness she finds in landscapes with others, who might sense the entire web of life, past and present, and, if for a brief moment, feel afloat in a river of human and non-human beings flowing from here to there. Ania tends a garden on the shallow soils of the Edwards Plateau and bakes bread for Ukraine.
