SUMMARY:Basia Krol Solo Exhibition: "Wherever I May Roam"

Following several Artist in Residency programs in the US\, Krol moved to Chicago in 2004 and then downstate to Galesburg IL in 2011\, to raise a family. Since the pandemic Krol has been painting almost exclusively landscapes based on native and restored habitats of the Midwest.
