Nancy Staszak is an award winning artist and a long-time resident of Woodridge. A retired Art teacher, an avid reader who enjoys science fiction, and a gardener and hiker who enjoys nature, Nancy shares the following as part of her Artist Statement:
“The world before us is intricate and beautiful: all of it from telephone poles and cellular towers around us, to natural landscapes and animals present and past, and what we imagine dinosaurs may have looked like before we were even here.
There are other worlds too, in our own galaxy and beyond. With so many different subjects and art materials to explore, it’s satisfying to experiment and see what effects you can get and how much fun (or frustration) it can be! Paints, prints, pencil, collage----all of them offer opportunities to look around at the world before us, to wonder, and to create an impression of it all.”
Nancy Staszak’s exhibit “Worlds Before Us” will be on display in the Art Gallery, located in the lobby, throughout June during the Library’s regular hours of operation.
The Library invites local artists to apply to show their work in the Library Art Gallery.
