CURRENTLY ON DISPLAY
🎨 ACA Presents Iryna Shkrobach's "Our Wonderful World"
“Our Wonderful World”, a solo exhibition by Iryna Shkrobach, will run through October 5, 2024 at the Addison Center for the Arts Gallery.
Through the artistry of Iryna in this “Our Wonderful World” exhibition, she takes us on a close look at our environment with the use of acrylic and oil on canvas that pop with color. Not only does Iryna paint the landscapes of our communities but tries to show in vivid color through abstract and pop art, that there is much hidden, surprise, and wonder in a lot of things we take for granted around us.
She is very aware that things are not all as we would like them to be. There is plenty of suffering going on, due to wars, which she has tried to capture from a female’s perspective in her artwork of her previous homeland in Ukraine. The colors she uses to describe the war scenes vary dramatically from the majority of her art.

Born in Ivano-Frankivsvk, Ukraine, and completed her PhD in Education, Iryna taught mathematics and science in high school and college. In 1997, she immigrated to the USA and enjoyed employment in security, real estate, and nursing fields until her retirement in 2015 when she went from part-time to full-time painting.
Iryna has become proficient in capturing the intricacies of the landscapes of the various places she has visited in both Europe, West, and Midwest regions of the USA. Her daily inspiration, motivation, and innovation for her paintings come from her year-round hiking, golfing, fishing, and swimming adventures. Since February 24, 2022, the first day of the Russian army invasion of Ukraine, she has devoted significant time to painting scenes of the daily life in Ukraine where she still has immediate family and a home.
Iryna is a member of the Elk Grove and Arlington Heights Art Guilds. She has had many solo and group exhibitions in local libraries, senior centers, churches, and local commercial galleries.
