30. Scranton Cultural Center – Into the Forest: Maria Grzybowski; music by West Scranton High School Music Improvisation Group. Maria Grzybowski is a painter who specializes in acrylic and ink mediums. Her work focuses on nature themes, particularly a study of animals. In recent work, she combines animals with the human figure and other imagery to form new relationships. She thinks about the interdependency of all creatures, the overbearing presence of technology in our society, and the absence of nature from our daily lives. Because the creatures are absent from our lives they have created their own mysterious universe that we are unaware of. She draws inspiration from travel, art history and children’s storybook illustration. She received her Bachelor’s degree in Art Education from Penn State University, and her Master’s degree in Painting from Marywood University. She has studied abroad in Florence, Italy. For the past nine years she has taught elementary art for the Scranton School District. She lives in Dickson City with her husband and two beagles.

Living with HeART is an exhibition about mindfully taking care of ourselves through the things we enjoy. For some its taking a walk, practicing yoga, riding a bike, or reading. For the artist or imagineer some of the greatest self-care is to create! As future art therapists we see the need for self-care, the value of actively creating, the satisfaction of displaying or performing artwork, and the importance of seeking happiness and inspiration from the little things in life!
