Modern Mountain Paintings
Original acrylic paintings, inspired by time spent in the vast, great outdoors. Each painting is signed on the front, varnished, comes with a certificate of authenticity and is ready to hang. Currently available pieces can still be purchased directly from the artist and shipped across the US. Beginning in the Spring of 2022, Kasia's art will also be sold via Art Galleries across Colorado.
Outdoor Sculpture
Kasia's glass mosaic and ceramic sculptures have been exhibited through out Colorado. Most are are eventually permanently installed at Kasia's Mystic Valley Sculpture Park near the Great Sand Dunes National Park in Southern Colorado which can visited via AirBnB.
Hand Cut Glass Mosaic Art
Until recently, Kasia mainly focused on creating elaborate, glass mosaic landscapes, each consisting of hundreds, often thousands of pieces of hand cut and custom fitted stained glass shapes. Her unique style and approach has inspired mosaic artists across the globe.

“Her growing landscape series really highlights all there is to love about America’s vast landscapes. I especially love how she uses such vibrantly colored stained glass for the sky and trees.”

“She chooses one or a handful of photographs that truly capture what she loves about an area, sketches a composite for many days, letting her creativity and spontaneity flow, and then eventually brings that final sketch to life with stained glass.”

“It is Polkowska’s love for the outdoors that drives her to create her landscapes … She takes in the colors, the flora and fauna, the unique geological formations and the light of each new place — capturing it all in photographs to use as reference to come up with the image that summarizes her impression of that particular place.”

The Artist
Kasia
Kasia lives in Pagosa Springs, a small town nestled in the San Juan Mountains of Southern Colorado where she gathers much of the inspiration for her art. She was born in Warsaw, Poland, grew up on the East Coast and studied art in New York City at Pratt Institute (BFA ’06).
Transforms Nature
She seeks out natural beauty while exploring her surrounding and gathering inspiration while hiking and camping. The lure of the great outdoors is a driving force for her recreating the impressions that the Great American Landscape makes on her each day.
Into Art
Once back in the studio, Kasia’s impressions of nature are reborn into painted landscapes that she explored on foot, where she was absorbed in the magic of mother nature and took away something memorable, worth sharing with an audience that connects as deeply to the outdoors.
