Iwona is a self-taught, Toronto-based artist whose work focuses on the quiet beauty of everyday life and the way light can transform a place from ordinary into something mystical. The sun setting on a city street creates a cinematic atmosphere, while a gloomy forest comes alive with a hint of dappled light. She paints from photos she takes in the city and during her travels.

Her medium is oil paint, applied in thick colourful strokes, using both palette knife and brush. Her work can be found at 4Space in Los Angeles, the first female owned space company, and in private collections.

Upcoming show: Alton Mill Art Centre from July 2nd to August 2nd, 2026, in the Pond Gallery.
