Dr. Selena Nawrocki grew up in a home built by artistic parents. Handcrafted furniture and stained glass windows framed her view of the world and continue to inspire her to push the boundaries of dimensional composition. The interior design professor's works have garnered dozens of awards at more than 100 international, national and regional art competitions.
"I utilize interior design computer software to create collage compositions that feature stairways as a major reoccurring focal point," said Nawrocki, who has taught at VSU since 2001. "My mixed media art is printed on a transparent field which when framed consists of multi-paneled straight and curved exterior silhouettes."
This past spring, Nawrocki's won Best of Show during the San Diego Art Institute/Museum of the Living Artist's 51st International Exhibition. "Rotary Steps" beat out nearly 700 entries in the competition designed to support the visual arts through exhibition, education and outreach. Her mixed media composition "Facets" garnered First Place - Best in Show at the Art and Design Society's 19th Southeast Regional Juried Fine Arts Exhibition at the Northwest Florida State College in Niceville.
