Seasonal Paint & Sip - Illustrated Lullaby: A Ukrainian Winter Scene (In-Person Folk Arts@UHEC)

Create your own wintry scene depicting a cozy cottage in the foothills of Ukraine's Carpathian Mountains. While you paint, learn about various versions of the well-known Ukrainian lullaby that inspires this painting. Participants will be free to paint the scene as shown… or to add a little “magic” to personalize for a special child. 

Natalka Pavlovsky Weismantel is a first-generation Ukrainian-American whose creative life has orbited the twin lights of art and music. She has previously collaborated with the Ukrainian History and Education Center on the Illustrated Carol Project, which centered on a set of her paintings exploring the texts and imagery of Ukrainian folk carols. Since the 2022 invasion of Ukraine, she has found herself painting almost exclusively on Ukrainian themes. An educational Jersey Girl, Dr. Pavlovsky graduated from Rutgers University, then completed her graduate work at Princeton University, earning her Ph.D. in Musicology. She is Professor of Music at Rowan College South Jersey, where she has taught since 2005. In addition to her lifelong passion for painting, Natalka loves to spend time in the kitchen, or outdoors (preferably in a kayak, on a hiking trail, or in water). She and her husband have one adult son.
