Thoughts about art and the world

Hoping for change

I painted Alejandra's Story: Estoy Sola to express my deep sorrow and anguish about the treatment of the refugee chidren in U.S. sanctioned camps.  However, I am hopeful that they will soon be reunited with their loved ones. We should never condone the actions of the past, whether it's the ongoing systemic racism or the treatment of people fleeing unimaginable conditions of their homelands.

 These are unusual times!  We are experiencing something that our generation has never experienced.  However, our grandparents went through the depression and World War 2.  They were told to sacrifice for the good of the whole.  And they did! 

We can do this! In the meantime, we can take walks in the beautiful springtime, talk with our friends and family on Zoom, and rediscover our creative talents. 

And we can enjoy art at museums we've never visited!  Please check out my website at www.lizpawlak.com.  If you can, we can arrange a payment for any painting that desire.  Stay well!

Pastels of my earlier work

Since moving back to Minnesota, I realized that I hadn't created any pastels, like I did when I lived in Santa Fe.   Autumn Color, the painting to the right, and Spring Show were completed in Santa Fe.  The softness of a pastel painting can really the essence of a landscape.  Both of these paintings were scenes from St. Paul.  

Please come to the St. Paul Art Crawl this weekend, October 11 - 13, 2019, at the Rossmor building!  Enjoy some refreshments!

Spring is a time for new life and creations.  Thoughts of walking along meadows or creeks often make me feel that I'm in tune with God's creation.  This little girl, in her exuberance,  somehow got lost in this flower garden, smelling the flowers of spring. Shouldn't we all be like her . . . enjoying the beauty of this amazing planet?

Adjusting to new surroundings

  • A lot has happened since my last blog posting. I had several shows in Santa Fe, where we lived for 6 plus years. It was a tremendous experience.  However, Minnesota is home. My style, however, has forever changed!  
  • It has been a very past 5 months. Our dear son, Michael, passed away in October. It was sudden, although he had many health problems. No parent should have to bury their children. 
  • Michael loved my paintings. I know he would disappointed if I stopped.  So, the 3 most most additions to my website are iterations of previous works. I dedicate these pieces to him.  
  • On a happier note, please come to the St. Paul Art Crawl Friday through Sunday, April 27 - 29.  Visit me on the 7th floor of the Rossmor Building, 500 Robert Street North, 55101.  The building is kiddy corner to Byerly’s/Lund’s grocery. I’d love to visit and catch up with you!

Art as a form of prayer

These times that we live can either bring us to despair or elevate us to reach within ourselves to create new works. I choose to do the latter (although, it’s sometimes difficult not to be distracted by the noise of the world).  A recent Call for Artists -  Sanctuary for Spirituality - challenged me to look at how my faith influences my art. I realized that the themes I choose and the colors I paint really do represent how I see the world around me.  


Both Building the new world . . . together and Colors of Abiquiu Lake convey my deep longing for a peaceful, loving world where people, animals and plants live in harmony with one another.
