Zbigniew Grzyb; what a missed opportunity. He has spent 40 years painting in Connecticut’s obscurity with an eye tuned to beauty and with the hand to make it.
Thanks so much, Sharon for helping us tell the world there is great art in Connecticut!

I have forwarded your request to the curators.

Thank you Sharon for the review. There are many of us working in CT that have spent our careers seriously investigating process, materials and abstraction. We sometimes get overlooked being situated between New York and Boston. Much appreciated that you have brought us to the attention of your readers.
