| Stan Sowinski Biography |
| Stanislaus (Stan) Joseph Sowinski was born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin in 1927. He moved to San Diego, California, to attend San Diego State University, and has been a resident of San Diego County since 1945. He studied watercolor techniques under the tutelage of Ben Messick, Everett Jackson, E. A. Boerner, and Ruth Ball. A dedicated artist for over 50 years, Stan is one of the most energic 75 year old men you will ever meet. He has a zest and love of life that is so evident in his work. He is a true colorist. He spent 26 years in the Navy (painting and exhibiting the whole time) with four sea commands, including a 21-ship squadron during the Vietnam War. He was also the first American Navy representative to serve on the British Defense Intelligence Staff in London. He has traveled and exhibited throughout the United States, Britain, Japan, and the Philippines, winning many awards along the way. Since Stan's retirement from the Navy in 1971 he has resided in Escondido and continued his art career. A few notable commissions include: UCSD, San Diego Trust and Savings Bank, Interna-tional Savings Bank, the Corpus Christi Catholic Church, St. Mary’s Catholic Church and 21 icons for the Sts. Constantine and Helen, Greek Orthodox Church in Solana Beach. Stan has exhibited at venues throughout Southern California. A renowned muralist, he is a member of the La Jolla Art Association, Laguna Beach Art Association, and San Diego Water Color Society. A few notable publications include: International Who's Who, Who's Who in the West, Who’s Who In American Art and Falk's Who Was Who in American Art. |
