Throughout the month of September, New Port Richey’s Recreation and Aquatic Center will feature the oil paintings of Bozena Filanowska, a Czech-born artist who now lives and paints in Florida.

Bozena Filanowska’s natural artistic talent and inspiration for art was apparent early in life. Her artistic work grasped the attention of her teachers, and she decided to attend the College of Arts in Rzeszow, Poland, to further her ability.

The artist graduated the 5-year program in 1982 with honors in painting, sculpture, and technical drawing, and started her career in silver jewelry design. In 1983, Filanowska moved to the Czech Republic, producing gold- and platinum-decorated glass and crystal works.
