Collection: Ukrainetz, Echo

Echo Ukrainetz is a native Montanan and has been interested in art for as long as she can remember. She has never taken a class in batik and has learned through trial and error, a method that has yielded many happy accidents as well as a few disasters. Over the years she has learned how to manipulate the wax and dye to create desired effects, but the medium remains unpredictable. Echo incorporates her intense interest in history in the description of her historical works.

Her batiks are in collections across the United States and Canada and have been accepted into numerous fine art auctions and shows, including Night of Artists, Briscoe Western Art Museum, San Antonio; C.M. Russell Art Auction and Show, Great Falls, Montana; Timeless Legacy: Women Artists of Glacier, Hockaday Museum, Kalispell, Montana; Phippen Museum Art Show, Prescott, Arizona; and Double Visions Show (Ron and Echo Ukrainetz), Hockaday Museum, Kalispell, Montana. She is represented by galleries throughout the West.

Ukrainetz’s work has been featured in Cowboys and Indians, Western Art and Architecture, Big Sky Journal, Western Art Collector, Southwest Art, Art of the West, and elsewhere. Her feature story in Today’s Wild West on PBS is nominated for a Heartland Award, and she will be featured on the Amazon series Art in America. She is a member of Cowgirl Artists of America.

Her work has been used for covers of Portfolio Magazine, Montana Miniatures, and Peaks and Plains Magazine.
