DENISE HAWRYSIO






My recent collage work is available for purchase on Someone Prays for You

Someone Prays for You is a fundraising initiative started after the Russian invasion of Ukraine by Taras Polataiko, a Ukrainian-Canadian artist from Chernivtsi. Proceeds go directly to support civilian defenders on the front lines. The name of the fundraiser is taken from a poem entitled The Mother from Ukrainian poet Halyna Kruk, which describes a mother praying for her son fighting in Eastern Ukraine.

Donating artists: Michael Allgoewer, Violetta Oliinyk, Stanislav Turina, Janet Cardiff, Angela Andorrer, David Blatherwick, Denise Hawrysio, Jarema Polataiko and Taras Polataiko.

Please help support citizen defenders in Ukraine by purchasing their artwork. Money collected will go towards medical supplies, body armour, night vision optics, reconnaissance drones and other crucial equipment.

Someone Prays for you












Showing support for Ukraine, John Wynne and Denise Hawrysio latest art installation, “and quiet that splinters the winter”, was exhibited at At Home Gallery – a former synagogue built by the Slovak Jewish community in the early 20th century – in Samorin, Slovakia in the fall of 2023.

The devastating effects of this war on nature are catastrophic and mirror the simultaneous human tragedies and physical destruction wrought by the pointless aggression. As Yevheniia Zasiadko from Ecoaction, a Ukrainian environmental group says, “War affects our nature just as badly as our people and our infrastructure. However, this damage remains unseen and mostly ignored, for the environment is the silent victim.”

Using sound and projected images, the artists use the forest as both a literal and metaphorical representation of the effects of war, while a set of Hawrysio’s collages brings the focus more specifically on the current conflict.
