Art Market "Artist of the Month" for February

 The Art Market "Artist of the Month" for February is photographer Winnie Chrzanowski. 

"I enjoy colors, textures, and shapes, and so I incorporate those facets of my world into my photography. I photograph my subjects from different perspectives or in small bits and pieces because I like how taking away the recognizable aspect of an object gives it an entirely different look and feel. To me, telling a story with photos is important. Sometimes I'm not sure what the story is, so that allows you to make up your own. I'm amazed at what others will find in my photos that I hadn't even considered when I captured them."

Winnie has been one of our favorite artists for many years. Here is why:

"Fort Gratiot Lighthouse" 16"x 20" matted photograph by Winnie Chzanowski
