## About

Olga Rybalko is a Ukrainian-Canadian painter based in Vancouver, BC, working in oils. She paints still life and landscapes, with a focus on narrative and the stories that objects and places quietly carry. Born in Sevastopol, Ukraine, and raised in Canada, her work is rooted in observation, traditional technique, and a lifelong curiosity about what paint can say without spelling it out. Her work is held in private collections across Canada and internationally.
