Event: The de Young Open
Dates: 10 Oct 2020 - 3 Jan 2021
In celebration of The de Young Museum’s 125th anniversary, the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco hosted The de Young Open, a juried art exhibition of submissions by artists who live in San Francisco and surrounding counties. Oksana's original painting "A View from the Pier" (oil on metal panel, 20 by 20 inches) was selected and displayed in this salon-style exhibition.
Biography
 “My primary focus is on painting scenes that capture special 
moments in time. My philosophy is ‘staying in and appreciating’ the 
moment. Painting has taught me to focus on what is happening now, and to
 pay greater attention not only to the outside world but also to my own 
responses to it. I have learned that life becomes happier and more 
meaningful that way.”
Oksana paints primarily in oils, but also enjoys working in other media such as charcoal, watercolor, and pastels.
 “I am continuing to improve my technical skills. I particularly 
enjoy experimenting with color and texture, since I feel those two 
important elements of painting best allow me to express how I feel about
 my subjects.”
