In the Gallery: Rita Zawislak-Brandt
Presented by Stillwater Public Library at Stillwater Public Library Stillwater, MN
Through My Eyes, a gallery exhibit by artist Rita Zawislak-Brandt, is on display during library hours in April. Rita’s lifelong career in art spans graphic design, illustration, and fine art. From her early work in the Minnesota Mutual Art Department and an advertising agency in Hanover, New Hampshire—where she created architectural renderings of the Hanover Inn at Dartmouth and Vermont Law School’s Old Main—to her role as graphic artist, designer and director at the University of Wisconsin–River Falls, Rita has embraced artistic challenges ranging from 3D campus maps and arena center-ice designs to large-scale murals. Now, through expressive figurative pieces, landscapes, portraits, and architectural renderings, she blends abstraction with realism to explore emotion, pattern, and color. Each piece reflects her belief that art is a personal journey—one she hopes will inspire visitors as they view the world, and perhaps their own experiences, through her eyes. Artist Statement: "Showing my work at the Stillwater Library gives myself a connection with my art to another community audience. I have been able to enrich my art ideas by viewing the other artists that are on display in the Stillwater Gallery area over the past years. I would like to display my work so others can be inspired by a connection to my nature/landscapes paintings. Then through my figurative pieces have a personal imaginative memory."
