Trutok Features Katya Trischuk

Featured Artists

In April 2000 Katya was invited to exhibit
her work at The Museum of Ukrainian
Literature in Kiev, where her work was
acclaimed by art critics and received
positive reviews in the national press.
This solo exhibition lasted for two weeks
and on opening day it attracted 185
visitors breaking a four- year record for
daily ticket sales.

In the summer of 2000 Katya returned to
Toronto to complete her degree in
Interior Design at Ryerson University.
Today Katya continues her passion for
painting. She considers herself a
"process-oriented" artist and uses a
palette knife for layering, dry-brush
techniques, cloths and even her hands to
create paintings that are rich in vibrant
colours and lush with texture. This gives
her work a distinctive quality. Katya's
work can be seen at any number of
Toronto art galleries and has been
showcased at The Toronto International
Art Fairs.

Ukrainian born Katya Trischuk discovered
her artistic ability at an early age and was
often in trouble at school for drawing in
her books or spending her lunch money
on art supplies. In spite of this, she often
won prizes for the best drawings in
school and went on to study at The Art
School for Children and later tutored
with the famous Ukrainian painter/realist
Leonid Ivanovich Maximov.

In the mid 90's Katya turned to painting
with oil on canvas and for 3 years had her
own art atelier in Kiev. Her talents were
recognized in the arts community and
with private collectors. During this time,
Katya traveled extensively throughout
Europe where she visited museums and
learned more about art, history and
architecture.
