A Ukrainian artist who came to Liverpool after fleeing war has had her work featured on a landmark city centre building.
Mariana Potetenko fled her home in Kyiv in June last year with her two daughters and the family dog to begin a new life in the city. She answered the call out to artists for Eurovision-themed shop window art with an image featuring the 2022 winners Kalush Orchestra and UK runner-up Sam Ryder.
The Liverpool BID Company, who launched the scheme to decorate shop fronts, were so impressed with the stunning artwork that they displayed it on the hoarding outside the Lyceum building on Bold Street. Mariana enrolled on a digital design-themed Skills Bootcamp funded by the Liverpool City Region Combined Authority after moving to Liverpool last year.
