The 1971 edition of Shevchenko's Kobzar is illustrated with reproductions of her towels co-produced with Hanna Vasylashchuk [uk].

[6] According to early reports, on 27 February 2022, works by Veres were among those destroyed when the Ivankiv Historical and Local History Museum was burned down during the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
