Yevheniia Vasylkova

Yevheniia Vasylkova is a Ukrainian queer visual artist and arts instructor currently based in Airdrie, Alberta. Yev’s artwork explores themes of displacement, identity, and mental health, using them as catalysts to investigate the healing potential of artistic expression, community, and nature.

Working primarily in watercolour, alongside collage and interactive media, she creates works that encourage reflection, dialogue, and connection. Her practice often extends into community-focused workshops and collaborative projects, where she engages diverse audiences in conversations around creativity as a tool for resilience and well-being.

Yevheniia holds a background in graphic design and visual communication, which continues to inform her approach to composition and storytelling. She transitioned to a full-time art practice in 2025 after several years working as a designer and marketing specialist.

Her work has been featured in group exhibitions across Alberta, including presentations in Calgary, Airdrie, and Edmonton, and she has participated in local artist residencies and community art initiatives. Through both her studio work and public engagement, Vasylkova continues to develop a practice rooted in empathy, connection, and the transformative power of art.
