Grazyna Adamska-Jarecka

I was born in Poland. Upon my arrival to Guelph, Canada in 1996 I decided not to continue scientific career in Biological Sciences but to pursue art and painting. My work has been progressing from expressive realism to abstract interpretation. Throughout my career I has developed a passion for the depiction of bodies, landscapes and other natural forms such as coral reefs, flames and plants.My recent abstract work focuses on depicting the female form engulfed in an orgy of color and gesture.
