Artist of the Month Series
Edgewater Historical Museum
Art Exhibit Room
(1108 S. Ridgewood Ave., Leisure Services Building)
Patricia Zalisko (Nov.), A self-taught artist, she was born and raised in New York City. Her parents’ encouragement to pursue academics above art led to a career as a lawyer in private practice and government service. Retiring in 2004, Zalisko was free to pursue the artistic spark that was ignited in her childhood at New York’s Ukrainian Institute where she learned “pysanky”, ritualistic Ukrainian Easter egg decorating. Moving to Florida, she began studying under local artists at The Art League of Daytona Beach, The Artists’ Workshop and Atlantic Center for the Arts New Smyrna Beach. She has created a unique style “abstracting from a reference and incorporating different materials, drawing inspiration from music and the life that surrounds us in Florida, the performing arts and...travels”. Her work has been described as evocative, bold and melodic. Patricia has won numerous awards for her work including Best of Show-2007, The Artists’ Workshop Members Show and also First Place, Distinguished Artist Award, Award of Merit, Honorable Mention, Achievement Award and Third Place at various competitions in Florida. Her work will be on display the month of November at the Art Exhibit Room in the Edgewater Historical Museum, 1108 S. Ridgewood Ave., Edgewater, 8 am-4:30 pm, Monday-Friday.
