Art works by Zenon Holubec to be featured at Yonkers exhibit

by Olga Rudyk

YONKERS, N.Y. - With Easter approaching, Ukrainian National Women's League of America Branch 30, will once again hold a spring art exhibit.

On Sunday, March 14, starting at 9 a.m. and through 1 p.m., art enthusiasts are welcome to visit the hall of St. Michael's Ukrainian Catholic Church, located at 21 Shonnard Place, to view the artwork of Zenon Holubec of Glen Spey, N.Y., and of Yonkers native Nancy Zakortiria.

Featured will be the unique bas-relief sculptures in wood by Mr. Holubec, who, in his work, seeks inspiration from nature, often treats historical and literary themes, and perpetuates the art of the icon.

Also featured will be a wide array of Ukrainian-themed arts and crafts, including floral creations, as well as ceramics and jewelry by Ms. Zakortiria.

Both artists had been scheduled for the annual Christmas bazaar, which had to be cancelled due to inclement weather.

Two guest artists from New York City, sisters Romanka and Marianka Zajech, will also visit to display their newest gerdany (string-beaded Ukrainian necklaces).

The artwork on exhibit will also be available for purchase, offering an early shopping opportunity for the upcoming Easter season.

Also available for purchase in the church hall will be Easter greeting cards, materials for making Easter eggs, or pysanky, honey, and gift items for both adults and children.
