Jorney - collection of watercolors

From September 10th until October 18th, the collection of
watercolors by Joan Mazurkiewicz
will be presented at the Donald B. Palmer Museum in the Springfield Free Public Library.Ms. Mazurkiewicz has always been interested in art and crafts but it wasn’t until 6 years ago that she became interested in watercolor.  She states
that  ‘What attracted me to water color is its transparent characteristic and the intricacy which can be attained
in a painting.  Painting is a great way to express my feelings, to unwind after a busy day at the office’.

The title of the exhibit is ‘Journey’ because the inspiration for her work comes from the places she visited on vacation, the flowers in her garden and her love of animals. 

Joan Mazurkiewicz is a lifelong resident of Irvington, New Jersey. She is a member of the Essex Water Color Club and the Livingston Art Association.
She received an Award of Excellence at the 2011 Livingston Arts Association
