Mira Wasilewska, originally from Poland, moved from Ottawa to the Region of Waterloo in 2012. The following year she joined a group of local artists participating in the Annual Kissing Bridge Trail Studio Tour displaying her paintings. Her favourite media are acrylic and watercolour. As a nature lover and an avid gardener, she concentrates her work on landscapes and floral compositions depicting the objects in a naturalist manner at the same time trying to avoid photorealism. In 2013 she decided to renew her interests in the art of pottery. Her latest discovery in artistic expression is designing and creating unique silver and copper jewelry. Mira approaches each discipline with a sense of adventure experimenting with various techniques. She is a member of the Kitchener Waterloo Society of Artist and Waterloo Potters’ Workshop. Her work has been exhibited at the Ottawa School of Art Gallery, Promenade Arteast Show, Trinity Gallery at Shenkman Art Centre, and more recently, at the Button Factory and Homer Watson Gallery and House. As a winner of the Curator’s Choice award presented during 2017 Annual Juried Show entitled “Light Miracles”, she was featured as Kitchener Waterloo Society of Artist solo artist in her exhibit “Reflections” in April 2018.
