| Introduction | Elżbieta was born, raised and educated in Poland (Cracow).Although she received a PhD in biology, she was always an artist at heart. In 1981, she came to the US for postdoctoral research at Harvard Medical School and later settled with her family in Albuquerque, New Mexico. In this multi-cultural atmosphere, Elżbieta creates paper cutouts – a popular folk art in Poland. The majority of her work is deeply rooted in Polish style and tradition. Her designs reflect admiration and respect of nature, and many remind us about importance of love, kindness, compassion and friendship. Using the same techniques mastered for Polish traditional designs, she has developed her own vision of the Southwest spirit and captured it in her unique medium. She shows her art nationally and internationally, has received many awards, grants, and her art was presented in numerous publications. Her life long passion for photography resulted in a large collection of images, often focused on the beauty of nature forms, unimportant objects and precious moments. |
