My name is Halina Grzyb. I was born and raised in Poland, immigrated to Canada via Italy, and have lived in Oakville for the last 30 years. I recently moved to Nanaimo BC. These amazing countries have provided me with great exposure and opportunity to build on my artistic career, or as I like to call it, my personal addiction to creating works of art.

While I use a variety of materials and processes in each project, my methods are consistent. There may not always be material similarities between the different projects I create, but they generally have the same subject matter. I have experimented with oil, and acrylic paints, cold wax, textiles and painting porcelain. The subject matter of each body of work determines the materials and the forms of the work I create.

I cherish every single moment as a painter; all of my paintings are works of passion, creativity, history, opportunity, and at times, simplicity. I hope that art continues to fuel my lust for life and encourages others to attain their desired dreams. My work has been exhibited in various venues and solo art shows. It can be found in private and corporate collections in Canada, Poland, Italy and Hong Kong.
