The 2025 Durango Autumn Art Festival - I Won Best Booth and Had an Amazing Show!

 

The September 20-21st ecstatic to win Best of Show for my Booth. It was a beautiful weekend full of sales and great conversations with the festival visitors!

Thank you to my patrons for picking up original paintings, prints and stickers and to all the folks who stopped by to ask questions and to let me know they enjoyed my art. If you could not make the festival, see what is still available online https://www.kasiapolkowskashop.com/product-category/paintings-drawings/  

The festival was full of incredible art and craft - so much to see and so hard to choose what to bring home. I know I wanted it all Thank you to Durango Arts for another fabulous event and ofcourse for the donuts and the coffee!  

Can you spot the two rascals and their snakes hiding in my booth - they have their own little room now in my upgraded double booth  

After a 4:30am wake up the first day, we were slightly exhausted ...

Take a look below to see the works that were connected with their forever home! Thank you everyone!

 

Agate Sculpture Installation for the 2025 Alamosa ArtScape

Agate, (A Grouted Stained Glass Mosaic, Welded Steel, Foam, Hybrid Concrete), 69" H x 36"W x 8"D, 2025 ~Available for Purchase via the City of Alamosa

On September 12th, we installed my latest glass mosaic sculpture on the North East Corner Main Ave and Hunt Street in Downtown Alamosa. The sculpture is part of the outdoor art exhibit Alamosa ArtScape 2025/26.

The Green agate symbolizes growth and abundance - something I definitely hope for each year in my struggling veggie/flower garden in the challenging and very short growing season in Pagosa Springs where I live 😂 Now I’m thinking that I should make one for my garden lol to ensure healthy plants in the 2026 season! 

This sculpture is a tribute to the vibrant farming community in the Alamosa region and a good omen for the future season. The Agate is associated with balance, stability and protection. The inner layered bands represent the cyclical nature of life, promoting inner balance and stability for all who come in contact with it. I hope that my Agate helps people feel more grounded and I harmony with the inner self.
