Tanya Mykytiuk, Artist “This pysanka coin design was inspired by the recent wave ofUkrainians who arrived in Canada seeking refuge and newbeginnings, just as my own grandparents did after the SecondWorld War. My goal was to create a design that radiated hope,faith and resilience, by drawing on ancient pysanka symbols butwith a contemporary aesthetic. For colour, I drew inspiration fromnature: barvinok (periwinkle) is an evergreen vine with brightgreen leaves and purple flowers, often the first to appear inspring.” Tanya Mykytiuk, Artist Alicia Cook Sapene, Product Manager “Our vision for 2024 was to offer a colourful floral design thatcelebrates the powerful relationship between the earth and sun –a design that is inspired by diasporan pysanky and rooted intraditional folk motifs, but with contemporary colours.
