I'm Liena Kucher — an artist at heart and in practice. With a formal art degree from Ukraine and nearly a decade of experience building my creative path in the U.S., I bring both sensitivity and skill to every project I take on.
As a photographer and art handler, I specialize in capturing the soul of artworks and treating each piece with the respect it deserves. I’ve worked with incredible institutions like the New Britain Museum of American Art and the Yale University Art Gallery, documenting exhibitions, events, and installations for catalogs, museum archives, magazines, and digital platforms.
Because I’m an artist myself, I understand the materials I work with — whether it’s canvas, bronze, wood, or glass — and I approach every shoot or installation with that same reverence and precision. My mission is simple: to preserve, present, and support art in the most thoughtful and professional way.
I’m based in the New Haven, CT area, and available to travel for projects. I also lead a small, talented team of fellow artists and fabricators who assist with larger installations. Our collective skills include custom ironwork, welding, woodworking, and creative art-installation solutions — making even the most complex projects feel smooth and inspired.
This work means a lot to me — not just as a service, but as a way of being in relationship with art and artists. I’m here to help bring your vision to life, with care, clarity, and craft.
