Bio
Tetyana Zelyanovska lived in Ukraine until just four years ago. Since moving, she has tried to keep Ukrainian traditions alive in her family. She was given a tapestry loom by a neighbor and taught herself some basics of tapestry weaving. She likes to make things by hand and has passion to continue to learn traditional Ukrainian weaving on a horizontal loom. She believes in promoting Ukrainian culture in any art form – she is also invested in practicing Petrykivka painting and Ukrainian singing. Zelyanovska also teaches the Ukrainian language classes. She shares, “After the war in my country started, traditional art has kept me more connected with my homeland and my people." Zelyanovska is a 2024 TAAP Apprentice under Tetyana Horner.
