Teresa Rozkiewicz

Art has been a lifelong passion for Teresa.  She is mostly a self-taught artist, starting during her university years and blossomed in her tenure in Japan, where she spent the most part of a year studying papermaking techniques; when she returned to Canada, she followed studies at the Ottawa School of Art.

The pieces in the collection include multiple layers of paint though which images appear, tracing back in her memory.  The washi paper, metal, photography and recycled everyday objects she uses give richness to her works, which are often reinforced with a photographic or text narrative, structured in series of layers and read through texture.
