Library Displays Local Artist Of The Month

Stella Roman, Southington resident is Artist of the Month at Southington Library and Museum.

Roman was born in the small town of Sieniawa Poland in 1931. After the war, in 1947, she moved to Szczecin, Poland where she attended art school. Later she became an interior decorator and met her husband and decided to leave her profession to be a mother and homemaker.

In 1960, the Roman family immigrated to United States and Stella continued her study of art with water color painting alongside artist Tomas DeFronzo.  She also attended several other art classes to perfect her skills.

Mrs. Roman has been a member of the Polish Society of Artists since 2010, where she has exhibited her art in their New Britain gallery.

Stella has continued her water color painting for several years and also began classes at the Calendar House Senior Center. She added oil and acrylic painting to her art expression and has entered several of her works in local art exhibits. Roman continues to express her art in all three media.
