Artist Statement
“As an artist, I seek to understand our world, life and love through my artwork with freedom, truth, family and community as my foundation. Both my parents are inspirations for me. My art collections like Flowers Across the Nation and My Ancestor’s Are Watching are inspired by my family’s ancestral dairy farm in central Wisconsin where our Polish grandparents created a community and our father continued agricultural pursuits on half of the farm while creating a lake and nature preserve on the other half, telling us he wanted to give that land 'back to nature.' My father was also a carpenter whose interest in building techniques and architecture led me to a great love of Louis Sullivan, which has inspired my art collection Hunting with Louis Sullivan.”
