Danuta Tomzynski: Artist and Designer - Epi. 273, Host Dr. Mark Sublette

I had artist Danuta Tomzynski on today. She's such an interesting human being. You know, just starting we went right to the heart of it by talking about her parents.  They were both Polish and were in Poland during World War II. Her father fought in the war after being taken to Siberia by the Russians and her mom was taken from Poland to Germany to be a servant. What they had to do to make it out and to get to America was extraordinary. Without their struggles and their stories, she doesn't exist. 

 She is an artist, but she's done so many things with clothing design and different types of creative endeavors. She finally found her way back to what she was supposed to do, at least at this point in her life, which is painting. She does these realistic still-life paintings, which are quite beautiful. She's starting to win awards and starting to get that kind of attention and for her, it's a little later in life, which is fantastic.

I'm sure somebody will hear this podcast and go, "Oh my gosh, I need to have her in my gallery." So she has that kind of talent, which is nice to see and fun to recognize.  So I had a great time with the Danuta Tomzynski on Art Dealer Diaries Podcast number 273.
