Elizabeth Janus, Bridgeport Member Since May 2009 Artist Statement I was born in Poland and came to America in 1984. Painting and drawing was mine hobby since early childhood and now is my passion. I belonged in Europe to Art Associations , Artists Clubs and was featured in many exhibits and contests.When I came to America I had to work different jobs in order to make a living and didn’t draw or paint for many , many years … now after long time I started again and must proudly say that it is my passion and will be till end of my life .
