I have 2 projects: 1. Personal pet portraits. 2. Happy Ducky Day Happy Ducky Day is an independent art project created by artist Vera Kuprik. At the heart of the project are playful duck characters, each reflecting a moment of joy, silliness, kindness, or sincerity. Vera’s work is deeply intuitive and emotionally driven — celebrating the idea that there’s still a little child in each of us who simply wants to smile and enjoy life. Her artistic style is diverse, ranging from whimsical illustrations to bold, expressive abstracts. She doesn’t limit herself to one technique or aesthetic — instead, she lets the material and feeling guide the creative process. Artistic Process Each series begins with an experiment — a spark of curiosity around a color, a shape, or a feeling. Sometimes it’s oil pastel, sometimes it’s digital sketching or mixed media. Vera creates characters and scenes that are lighthearted, warm, and full of personality. Product Offerings • Fine art prints (Giclée, archival inks) • 100% cotton throw blankets (50x60”) • Stickers and pins featuring original duck characters • Art postcards and small batch gifts All products are designed by Vera and produced in the U.S. in small runs, with care and attention to quality. Mission To spread a little joy through heartfelt, charming artwork. Happy Ducky Day is about creating moments of lightness, comfort, and emotional connection — a reminder that it’s okay to slow down, smile, and embrace the whimsical side of life.
