Journey into the world of COLOR!!
Color & Creativity is a way of sharing my heART with the world.
It's a journey into the gap of known & unknown.
I've been traveling this gap for many years, exploring the vast array of colors, techniques and materials that are offered. Here lies the place of exploring the mystery and the joy of life.

My ART is an invitation to explore the
expansion of your imagination.
A painting is poetry in motion; every vision, every stroke, every splash of color & every drop of energy.

about jean kowalski's art career
" A painting is unspoken words. It is poetry in motion; every vision, every stroke, every splash of color & every drop of energy."
My inspiration evolves from the myriad of nature’s gifts. The hues, shadows, textures and intensity of the colors are my passion.
As an abstract expressionist, I strive to create paintings that have a cohesive and vibrant color palette. The colors evoked in my paintings ignite a healing essence for the observer. The natural world gives me the ability to bring enlightenment to others. Each painting is infused with the energy of the world seen and unseen.

BIOGRAPHY:
Being raised in the midwest, I’ve had the opportunity to experience life in many towns and cities across the country. Each experience has been a transformative pathway to my creative work. My appreciation of the arts began at a very early age. I began to explore various mediums; pen & ink, pencil and clay. When my son was in high school, I came back to my art and settled with the use of acrylic paint because of the vibrancy of colors.
Currently I live and work at the base of the Rocky Mountains, in a small town called Palmer Lake. Here I am able to enjoy my grandchildren and play in the outdoors. The constant change of the landscape and weather provides a magically diverse exploration into shapes, textures and colors. The images and energy of nature are brought into the studio and infused into my paintings.
I am a self-taught artist, absorbed into rich texture and vibrant colors. During 2020, I was selected by a jury and commissioned to create a Dragonfly Sculpture for the Rotary Club's largest fundraiser of the year.

We had the good fortune of connecting with Jean Kowalski and we’ve shared our conversation below.
Hi Jean, what led you to pursuing a creative path professionally?
Creativity has been in my life since my early years. Drawing was my escape to nature; to explore the forests, the waters and all that live within. I dabbled with pencil and with pen & ink, creating drawings of the images that nature implanted into my heart. Over the years, the busy-ness of life set my art aside until that internal creative pulse would not allow me to push it aside any longer.
