Northport’s Haven Gallery is donating profits from works by Kseniia Boko, an artist based in Kyiv, to support families and people in need within Ukraine, including the artist herself. Boko is a full-time artist with a dreamy, ethereal style. Her collection entitled “Connection” is being featured at Haven Gallery until April 25, with two works still available for purchase. All profits made on these pieces will go exclusively to Boko, Rescue.org and The Return Alive Foundation.

Erica Berkowitz, the owner of Haven Gallery, told the Journal that the gallery is forgoing its profits to make donations to these important funds, and to ensure that Boko receives her pay while she stays home in Kyiv, unable to work.

In a recent statement posted on Instagram, Boko wrote, “War is my new reality. Today is the third day since my country was attacked. The third day I live in horror and fear. I had many plans, art projects and shows…but now I’m not sure about tomorrow.”

If you have questions about Boko’s works, email Erica at info@havengallery.com. Haven Gallery is located at 90 Main Street in Northport Village.

Work entitled “Anna” by Kseniia Boko. Oil on linen canvas, $750. https://www.artworkarchive.com/rooms/erica-berkowitz/1f64ef/anna-erica-berkowitz
