About Olena

Hi, I’m a Ukrainian-American, multi-medium artist living in Nashville, TN. I’m a jeweler at Yearly Co. by day and spend my evenings wrapped up in my project of the week.

My current obsession is my 14k gold collection and I’m always sketching, metal-smithing, stone setting and photographing new pieces for this dainty, collectible and ethereal body of work. I tend to find inspiration for this and my artworks through adventure, by nature, mythology, tarot, ritual, and the divine feminine.

While I am now passionately focused on jewelry, I have adventured through several different mediums and industries over the years picking up unique lessons, perspectives, and techniques along the way. In 2022 I spent over 100 hours painting a collection for an introspective gallery show called Between Shadows shown at Modfellows Art Gallery. Before that I was a Fashion Stylist and photographer simultaneously shooting and styling artists on tours, award shows, and music videos. Between 2014 and 2016 I lived in Los Angeles and spent a brief time working as a Makeup artist, Product Designer and Sketch Artist. Through these various lenses, I learned countless intricacies about bringing an idea to fruition and absolutely love applying these skills to breathe life into custom designs for my clients.
