She paints in the impressionist style and loves bold, contrasting colors. Her inspiration comes from "The Group of Seven Artists" and the abundant natural beauty of the Keweenaw.
"Life in the Keweenaw is truly a gift," Stefanowski says.
She is honored to be a member of the U.P. artist community, and Pete and Shelley Hahn welcome the public to view her work.*

Cross Country Sports
For the month of June, Cross Country Sports, 507 Oak Street, will feature photography by Joe Kirkish. A retrospective of architectural photographs taken over the years, these black and white images capture buildings and landscapes with Joe’s eloquent sense of artistic composition. Even in stages of decomposition and abandonment, buildings serve as a cultural expression of place and time -- a remembrance of human activity. Many of these "ghosts of place" exist now only in photographs or in the collective memory of the community.
An open house featuring a talk with the artist and refreshments will be held from 6:30 p.m. to 9 p.m. on Friday, June 6. For more information, call 337-4520.
