Petrykivka Style of Painting

“Art should entertain. It should elevate the heart and the mind. It should poke holes in the blinders of society. Yet, even after it has done these three things, art should offer one more

important feature. And that is to promote discussion which will act as a catalyst for

change.” CAROLYN WARDLE
