Janet Snitkovsky
Janet Snitkovsky was born in Chernyakhiv, Ukraine in 1934 and began doing art as a child, but her creativity was temporarily stopped by WWII.
After the war, she began her artistic pursiut in high school and eventually enrolled in L’viv Art Academy where she majored in textile design. Having graduated Magna Cum Laude with an equivalent of an MA in Fine Arts, the artist began creating murals for buildings, doing church fresco restorative works and mosaics while, at the same time, pursuing such diverse interests as oils, graphics and linoleum carvings.
She later moved to Russia in the 1960’s, where she was commissioned to create large murals and mosaics for buildings, and participated in many exhibitions there. Her works are still in several museums in the country, particularly in such cities as Tula, Ryazan, Moscow and Kaluga. She was also a winner of a gold medal at an exhibition at the capital.
The Baltic countries would often buy her linoleum carvings to decorate local cruise ships. Her works were also sent by the government to be exhibited in France, Sweden, Italy, Egypt and Brazil.
In 1978, Janet, along with her husband and son, emigrated to the USA. On her way to America, she exhibited in Italy where she met Marc Chagall personally.
In this country, she began exhibiting in such Manhattan galleries as Maraya, Tanisia, Nakhamkin and Bezalel Art as well as made appearances on TV at First Estate by NBC and at the New York Art Expo at the Coliseum. The artist, often working in a team with her husband, sold at Southeby’s and Christie’s auctions. At the same time, her art was noticed by some major private collectors who began commissioning it for their own residences and collections.
She moved to Los Angeles in 1985 and, some years later, began exhibiting with Dyansen Art gallery and Shelly Dorf Art gallery in Beverly Hills. At the same time, she continued working with major auctions, private collectors in New York and also, sold her works at Roy Miles Gallery in London. Her ( and her husband’s) works were exhibited at the Mongeron Museum in Paris, and Norton Dodge Art Museum in Washington DC.
Janet became an American citizen in 1987.
In 1991, the artist moved to Palm Springs, California and continued making art from this new location for provate collectors. She also participated in exhibits on Al Paseo in this city.
Presently, the artist is still painting full time and selling to various private collections. She is also gearing to participate in an exhibition at Avivson Art Gallery in London this year.

Natalya Prager was born in Moscow, Russia in 1938, the daughter of a famous Russian artist Vladimir Prager.
She began her life as a ballerina studying at the Bolshoi Theater Ballet School. As a young woman she participated in the Bolshoi Theater performances, but the rigorous training damaged her health.
Her exposure to music at a young age certainly influenced the subjects of her future endeavors in art. Her works are lyrical and with observation tell an intimate story.
Encouraged by her father, she turned to painting and became a student at the Moscow College of Art. She had two exhibitions of large canvases to critical acclaim at the First Exhibition of Young Painters in Moscow when she was eighteen years old.
After marrying her fellow artist Igor Kononov in 1957, she expanded her work in many different different areas, including book illustrations, circus and stage design, and puppet making for a children’s TV channel, receiving critical success and broad recognition.
Prager- Kononov came to the United States with her husband and son in 1975. The first years were extremely difficult, but they never looked back. The family settled in Staten Island, New York and since 1985 in Bridgewater, New Jersey.
Natalya displayed her works in some of the most prestigious locations in New York City including 57th street and SOHO galleries, Lincoln Center Gallery, Staten Island galleries and many others throughout the country. Her final show, jointly with her husband, was produced by Somerset Arts Association in 1999.
Animals had a special place in Natalya’s life and art. Some of the enchanting New York City Toy Center soft animal toys had been designed by her and continue to bring joy to children of the world.
Many national and local newspapers published extensive articles and personal interviews praising her enchanting work as a door to the Bewitching Fairy Kingdom...
