Nothing Is Ever What it Seems to Be Print

Zjawinska’s early works were inspired by such artists as Vermeer, Degas, and Sargent. These paintings transport us to elegant, fantasy dreamscapes through images that explore complex, passionate relationships. They are uniquely feminine, sensual, and seductive. Her visual narratives invite multiple interpretations. The story is as layered as the scenes we are looking at. Zjawinska’s current works are as beautiful as they are transformative. Inspired by the romanticist landscape painter JMW Turner, and her move from San Francisco to Mendocino County, Zjawinska has found new love and appreciation for nature’s profound simplicity and beauty.
