Lydia Karpenko's practice encompasses objects, spaces, and artful experiments that examine mindful and intentional approaches to daily living.
Working with site-specific installations, ceramics, paintings, and sculpture, she creates pieces that celebrate hand-made craftsmanship and a thoughtful approach to making and design.
Through her art practice, she explores personal narratives and themes of home, displacement, memory, and the human-nature connection.
Born in Kyiv, Ukraine and immigrating to Canada as a child, Lydia is now based on Vancouver Island's West Coast, surrounded and deeply inspired by this area's unique natural beauty.
