Experience the Holodomor Genocide through the powerful and evocative art of Lydia Bodnar-Balahutrak. Lydia, a Ukrainian American artist, delves into the human condition in her work, drawing inspiration from her Ukrainian and American bicultural background. Born in Cleveland, Ohio to Ukrainian immigrant parents who were displaced by World War II, Lydia's art reflects her unique perspective and personal history.

Lydia's artistic journey began with a Bachelor of Science degree from Kent State University in 1973, followed by a Master of Fine Arts degree from George Washington University in 1977. In 1991, she embarked on her first visit to Ukraine, made possible by an IREX grant. This experience further deepened her connection to her heritage and influenced her artistic expression.

Lydia's work has been exhibited extensively, both nationally and internationally. Her captivating pieces can be found in numerous public and private collections, including prestigious institutions such as Oxford University, the Barrett Collection in Dallas, and the Tyler Museum of Art in Texas. Currently residing in Houston, Texas, Lydia serves as a studio faculty member at the Glassell School of Art, Museum of Fine Arts, Houston.

The Ukrainian Museum in New York has recognized Lydia's talent by showcasing her works in multiple exhibitions. Notably, her art was featured in the exhibition "Evocations" in 2013, commemorating the 80th anniversary of the Holodomor. She also participated in the museum's 2015 exhibition, "The Ukrainian Diaspora: Women Artists, 1908–2015," which celebrated the 90th anniversary of the Ukrainian National Women's League of America.

In November 2020, the Museum hosted a virtual exhibition titled "Holodomor: A Remembrance," shedding light on the tragic events of the Holodomor genocide. Additionally, Lydia's remarkable contribution to the artistic community led her to be awarded a prestigious 2022-23 Fulbright U.S. Scholar Award. Although her original plan to research contemporary Ukrainian social/political art in Ukraine was hindered by the ongoing war, she redirected her efforts to Poland. Collaborating with the University of the Arts in Poznan, she curated an exhibition titled "The Ties That Bind," showcasing the thought-provoking work of eight young Ukrainian artists living in Poland.
