Eugenia’s travels have taken her to twenty-two countries on four continents. Much of her writing and artwork is influenced by her time as a Peace Corps Volunteer in Ukraine in the mid-1990s, where she lived a rural village life without running water or internet access. She is the author of Pamyat Celo/Memory Village, and her writing and/or photography has been published or is forthcoming in journals such as Cascadia Review, The Pedestal Magazine, The Sun Magazine, and Terra Incognita.
