BIO

Beverly Kedzior is known for her organic shapes and richly layered abstractions.  As a child she was enamored of animated movies and cartoons. She had books from those movies and traced and drew the images found in them continuously.  

 In art school, variations of the organic forms from these venues consistently appeared in her work.  When she discovered a genetic disorder deep in her family history, she searched for answers in DNA books.  She found a correlation between the illustrations there and the bulbous images she was already using.  Mining ideas from animated film, cartoons and DNA textbooks, Kedzior creates pop paintings that merge these seemingly disparate elements. 

 Kedzior lives and works in Chicago.  She has degrees from Barat College and the Art Institute of Chicago.  Her work has been exhibited throughout the US and is featured in private, corporate and museum collections across the nation
