Biography:

Bronisława (Bronka) Michałowska (1915-2015), Polish-Canadian artist. In 1936, she began her studies at the Faculty of Fine Arts of the Stefan Batory University in Vilnius. She was a fourth-year student (in Tymon Niesiolowski's studio) when the Second World War broke out. She continued her studies and artistic work in Great Britain. In 1945, she graduated from the University of London's Courtauld Institute of Fine Art with a Bachelor of Arts with Honours (Art History). In Canada, her early work consisted mainly of oil paintings, gouaches, drawings, watercolours and, later, linocuts. Fascinated by ceramics, she bought a ceramic kiln soon after her arrival in Canada and specialised in the art of artistic ceramics. Bronka Michalowska died in Toronto and her ashes were laid to rest in the chapel at Park Lawn Cemetery (Ontario).
