Yelena Yemchuk

Born in 1970 in Kyiv, Yelena Yemchuk immigrated to the United States with her parents when she was eleven years old. She became interested in photography when her father, an athlete, gave her a Minolta 35mm camera for her fourteenth birthday. Yelena went on to study art at Parsons School of Design in New York and photography at ArtCenter College of Design in Pasadena. She has exhibited photography, paintings, and films in solo and group shows at galleries and museums across the globe. Among them are the Mabel, Betty & Bette show at Dallas Contemporary (2019) and the Odesa show at The Ukrainian Museum in New York (2023).
