The Brampton News: Artist explores visual inspiration

Brampton - While dedicating long hours to her passion, Stephanie Czolij wants to keep things light-hearted. “I often insist on keeping things fun while trying to fulfill assignment requirements.”

In her fourth and final year at University of Guelph, Stephanie is close to completing her Bachelor of Arts.

Her levity ties many of the works in her current solo exhibit at the Artway Gallery together.

Well over two dozens of her drawings, paintings, etchings, block prints, computer graphics, and mixed media works are on display from now until January 26th. The collection on display, titled “Visual Ramblings”, draws from various personal inspirations, ranging from the Baroque and Renaissance, to various artists throughout the 19th and 20th centuries, to the contemporary imagery of instant messaging graphics.

Stephanie was originally a student at St. Thomas Aquinas, and for two-and-a-half years, Visual Arts Brampton’s teen classes.

Free, Artway Gallery is located in the corridor on the west side of Shoppers World mall, between The Bay and the food court. Shoppers World is located at 499 Main Street South, at the intersection of Hurontario and Steeles Avenue. Hurry though, as the short-run exhibit is only on for another two weeks.
