What an amazing team!
Thank you, Katerina for organizing such a meaningful event.

Art spoke where words were not enough.

On March 15, the international exhibition “Voice of the Unforgotten” opened in Jersey City, honoring the memory of Ukrainian children lost to war. Through art, their stories continue to live — reminding us that memory is stronger than silence.

The exhibition honored Ukrainian children whose lives were shattered by the war — those who were killed, wounded, or forcibly taken to Russia.

One of the central installations by Ukrainian artist Viktoriia Kalaichi was created in memory of the children who died during the war. Each face in the installation represented a child — a life cut short and a dream that will never be fulfilled.

The exhibition also featured powerful posters created by students of the Kharkiv State Academy of Design and Arts under the guidance of Kateryna Lavrykova. Many of these young artists have personally experienced the realities of war — air raid sirens, missile strikes, and artillery shelling — transforming their pain into powerful artistic expression. and - Nadya

The exhibition brought together artists and designers from different countries to preserve the memory of children whose lives were destroyed by war.

Visitors experienced:

• Illustrations based on real stories
• Art installations and posters symbolizing lost lives and broken families
• Video art combining documentary footage with artistic visualizations
• Interactive elements encouraging deeper reflection on the tragedy of loss

The project included three participant categories:
• Junior — young artists
• Student — students of art institutions
• Private — independent artists and professionals

Art became a voice for those who can no longer speak — a reminder that behind every number is a life, a family, and a future.

We warmly invite you to adopt this precious and meaningful book. my dear friend Galina and I will be presenting Buzzy‑Wuzzy Busy Fly (Муха‑Цокотуха) by Korney Chukovsky tomorrow and Sunday - 2/28 6-8 pm and 3/1 2-6 pm . I printed out the English translation version.

Through our PPSC Support Program, 100% of all proceeds will go directly to the children’s groups we have been supporting since the brutal invasion of Ukraine.

Korney Chukovsky was born Nikolai Vasilyevich Korneichukov on March 31, 1882, in St. Petersburg, Russia. Although born in St. Petersburg, he spent his childhood and youth in Odessa . A short story behind the creation of this very special book which Galina and I are proud to present! It was illustrated during our online art-therapy sessions by our brave young artists, their siblings and families, medical psychologists in Ukraine, Ukrainian refugees around the world — and myself.
Before the book was published, the illustrations were presented and voiced by the well-known pediatrician Yevgeny Komarovsky on his public YouTube channel, created especially for children and offering tremendous emotional support during this brutal war. As soon as I learned about Dr. Komarovsky’s inspiring and thoughtful project, I decided to reach out to him. He kindly replied personally, with great warmth and care, and invited our group to participate.
The name of the YouTube channel is:

Thank you, dear Dr. Komarovsky, for your endless support of children and families.
Galina made a heartfelt decision to give these beautiful illustrations a new life. She personally translated the book into Ukrainian. It was published in Kyiv, and the printed copies were hand-delivered to the United States by Galina and her husband, Oleg Itskovich.Thank you for your tireless support, Oleg! This project would not have come to life without the wonderful support of the publishing team led by Oleg Fedorov at

Dear all,

On February 28 and March 1, I will be participating in a charity exhibition and auction at MORA Museum of International Art in Jersey City.
I am donating my drawings created during my online art therapy sessions for children with disabilities and adult groups — both in Ukraine and for Ukrainian refugees scattered around the world.
Together with my colleagues — fellow artists, musicians, and writers — we will be taking part in this auction in support of families from Ukraine during this difficult time who need care and assistance.
The event is organized by dear friend of nine - Oxana Katsov and the foundation team.
The program will include art, books, music, and artisan bread auction, with all proceeds going toward meaningful, direct support.
If you are in New York or New Jersey, I would be very happy to see you there.
With gratitude,
Katherina

Working in education has taught me that learning is a lifelong adventure — one that never truly ends.

Here is a small glimpse into my path — my growth, my work, and a precious learning experience seen through a cosmic perspective, shared with my furry assistant by my side 🐾✨
May this inspire you to keep learning, stay curious, and truly cherish every moment — because the most meaningful growth begins when we choose to remain students of life. 💫

Art therapy class online for children in Ukraine. 🇺🇸❤️🇺🇦 We are learning about Koi fish in Japanese culture:
Koi fish hold a special place in Japanese culture as symbols of perseverance, strength, and good fortune. Known for their ability to swim upstream against powerful currents, koi represent determination in the face of challenges and the courage to pursue one’s dreams. Their connection to the ancient legend of the koi that transforms into a dragon after leaping through the Dragon Gate reinforces themes of ambition and personal transformation. Often seen in temple ponds, traditional art, and festive decorations like the colorful koinobori flags flown on Children’s Day, koi also embody harmony, prosperity, and the beauty of nature in everyday life.
