Olha Sonis a 35-year-old Ukrainian artist who had just opened her first exhibition when thewar broke out.
It’s an image filled with warmth and gratitude for a shared experience that has bonded these families forever.
Dima and Tonya Mogylnyi arrived in Sheffield with their young son Misha, who is now 19 months old.
My wife and I will definitely carry these memories with us forever.
The families lived together for nine months, and now the Mogylnyi are moving into their new home.
To show their gratitude to the Ryans, they commissioned a personalized umbrella painting from Olha Son.
It was an emotional experience when the couple first saw the painting.
We didn’t expect anything, let alone something so personal and poignant.
Also, incredibly impressed by just how well the artist painted our dog.
