Grade 8, Acadia Junior High, MB

Eva Monastyrska is a 13-year-old artist who recently immigrated to Winnipeg, MB with her parents and cat. She was born in Ukraine and spent her school years in Poland. Eva's passion for drawing began when she was just a toddler and her mother gave her finger paints. Since then, she has been drawing almost every day, creating abstract and colorful artworks that are successfully selling in photostocks. Eva is still exploring her own painting style. Her favorite themes are cats and people. She enjoys watching her British tabby cat and spends many hours painting him in great detail. When it comes to people, Eva's paintings are very emotional and reveal her internal world, showing how a teenager can transfer emotions onto canvas. In the future, Eva wants to continue to explore this world and bring more happiness and brightness to it.
