Serafima Kovalevskaya created these silk works at the age of 18, inspired by African art and nature. Using the process of cold batik, outlines are drawn with the ancient art form of wax resist dyeing, special silk paint is then applied to add color. Serafima was born in St. Petersburg, Russia. A daughter of artists, Serafima is currently a senior at Milwaukee Institute of Art and Design, studying Architecture, Interior Design, and Graphic Design, in pursuit of her dream to become a famous architect.

The Intrepid Traveler: Places, People & Vistas

June 29-August 27

Photographers: Thomas Adolphson & Paul Berg

What better way to see the world than through the photographer’s eye. Art in the Library welcomes Thomas Adolphson, a school teacher and amateur photographer, who catches the essence of a scene with clarity and great heart. An Adolphson photo of Serengeti National Park was recently featured in the New York Times “Why I Travel” section. Tom will take us to China and Tanzania. Paul Berg, a commercial photographer and educator, is a seasoned traveler—covering over 26 countries on 5 continents. His work has been widely published and his photos have been featured in exhibitions throughout the Chicago area. Paul’s photographs will give you a glimpse of his journeys to Mexico, Colombia, and other destinations south of the border.
