From There to Here: Karl Kozlowski’s Journey in Art
Peter A. and Mary Lou Vogt Gallery
Andrew L. Bouwhuis, SJ Library
Opening Reception: October 9, 2025 3-4 PM
On view: October 1 – December 12, 2025
From Dr. Kozlowski’s artist statement: “I create pieces that reflect the things I love most: pets, sunflowers, and the simple joys of daily life. Often, my art is a gift—like an Optimus Prime for my children or vibrant images of fire trucks and police cars. I’m not formally trained; instead, my journey has been one of exploration and curiosity. I’ve experimented with sketchbooks, ink, oils, watercolors, and most recently, acrylics.”
