Lincoln Belmont Branch hosts a Polish American Heritage Month art exhibit from October 1 to December 31 featuring Stanislaw Kielar.
Artist Biography
In 1987, Kielar moved his family from Poland to the Chicago area. A short time after he remembers reading that people revisit childhood passions in their early 40s. This made him curious to pick up a brush again. He once again began painting in oils. In 1990, he took a lesson from the Bob Ross-style painting class, which gave him much encouragement. He continued to perfect his craft until the early 2000s, when he joined other Polish artist in the Chicago area in forming ArtPo, a club for artists. Kielar has displayed his artwork, mainly landscapes in oil, at many exhibitions.
