Biography
Regina Stadnik grew up in Kyiv, Ukraine. After immigrating to the US, she received a BA in Studio Art at the University of South Florida, where she found her footing with printmaking. More recently her art practice shifted to quilting, and at times combining painting and printing on top of quilt surface to build imagery. Her work is in several public collections, including San Francisco General Hospital, KALA Art Institute, Bienes Center for the Literary Arts in Fort Lauderdale, and the University of South Florida. She exhibited at the 2023 De Young Open. Stadnik is currently an Artist-in-Residence at KALA Art Institute. Her studio is located in Oakland, CA.
Artist Statement
My current body of workexplores the themes of shelter, security, and longing through close observation of myneighborhood and my home—how the water tower appears flat against the intense blue of the sky,buildings vanish into the fog, a chair silhouettes against a window. I use quilting as my medium. The soft tactile quality of fabric echoescomfort, contrasting with the geometry of the built environment.
