Trzyna Studio Arts
Inspired by the world around me, I create paintings in soft pastel and oils.
New Work
New Linocuts
Above Linocut: Hibiscus Flower 6x9, 1color print with collage elements and hand painting.
Currently experimenting with relief printmaking, mostly linocuts. One color prints, one color print with watercolor, 3 color reduction prints, and collage (a few samples in process below).
I don't have a portfolio of work up yet, but will soon. In the meantime I have a number of finished prints available in the studio.
Recently Completed Pastel
Oak Trees in October Sun, Pastel, 24x18
I have several new pastels inspired by late fall walks in Mokena Woods

Video of My NICAA Artist Talk
In 2020 Northwest Indiana Community Art Association (NICAA) arranged for me to do an lecture about my art and process for their group. When the in-person event was canceled due to Covid restrictions they arranged to have me record a video of my talk.
