Washington artist Victoria Varvariv exhibits works at UNA resort KERHONKSON, N.Y. - Artist Victoria Varvariv dreams in color and transfers those same vibrant colors onto her hand-painted silks and works on glass. "No works are alike," said the Washington- based artist during her one-woman show at So- yuzivka over the Fourth of July holiday weekend. She enjoys working on both silk and glass, as well as in stone. "I've only gotten back to sculpture now, because I like to work with large pieces (over 500 pounds) and thus, I can only work in my yard during periods of good weather," she added. "I've found a new stone supplier and hope to produce some new sculptures," she said.
