Halina Grzyb

I am living my dream.

In 1986, a refugee camp in Italy became our new home. We hoped this would lead to a promising future in Canada.
Italy provided me with great exposure and opportunity to build on my artistic addiction. I met a number of artists who influenced and shaped
my methods. I experimented with textile and porcelain painting, which provided my family with a nominal income.

Today, I cherish my moments as a painter. With continuous influence from my past and daily life, my paintings are works of passion, creativity, history, opportunity and sometimes simplicity. I hope that art continues to fuel my passion for life and encourages others to attain their desired dream.

My work has been exhibited in various venues and solo shows. My art can be found in private and corporate collections in Canada, Poland, Italy and Hong Kong.
