As a commercial artist, Olga Kaczmar produced layouts and renderings for patent applications, exhibits and brochures. Currently, Olga is devoting time to a more delightful side of art such as drawing horses, dogs, cats and portraits of family and friends. She uses timeless tools such as graphite, charcoal, oils, pastels, colored pencils, and watercolor. To view her work visit www.olgakaczmar.com.

Her computer-generated famine-genocide posters have been shown throughout the U.S.A., Canada, Ukraine, France, Australia, and the United Kingdom. In 2007 to 2008, her art was used to promote a film and book on the Ukrainian genocide of 1932. She founded an international organization and maintains a web site to unite relatives and friends lost after World War II.
