Artist Statement:
Few words about me
My journey
through the world of art began
in Warsaw, Poland in 1965. As

form, but the feeling. The

moved to the United States
with my daughter Dorota. Soon
after arriving here I got
involved in the Chicago art

Moves International, which was
devoted to artist exchange
between Eastern Europe and the
United States. Later on I
represented Polish artists as
the curator of Gallery 58, and
helped organize many exhibits

the role of art curator, I
decided to focus on my own
