Paulina Swietliczko is an artist and educator. A graduate of the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw, Poland, her works depict scenes inspired from everyday life. Her preferred medium is oil on canvas, but she also uses a variety of other media including water-color, acrylic, and elements of collage. Paulina taught painting, drawing and the fundamentals of design at Reedley College and Fresno City College in California for five years, before moving to Roanoke in 2012, where she currently lives and paints.
Recently, I have been painting outside, finding places and scenes around my town and surroundings; sometimes I paint architecture and some other times a landscape, vegetable garden, objects in my house or my friends and family members. Whatever I paint, I try to find my own way of depicting the world. In my painting process, I like the feeling of wonder and being lost, finding some kind of order in the chaos. Painting for me is a constant search and an adventure, each time I paint, I discover something new.
