By permission of the artist, The Cyber Art Show is pleased to feature the second of two 12-piece Exhibitions of works by Polish and American landscape artist Andrew Skorut (born 1969 in Krakow, Poland).

Krakow, Poland--this thousand-year old city in Eastern Europe, with its impressive architecture, fine museums and abundant works of art, is where Andrzej spent his early years. Such intensely aesthetic surroundings undoubtedly had a profound influence on Andrzej, who began painting at a very early age and had already decided to pursue a career as an artist by the time he finished elementary school. Despite fierce competition for places, Andrzej was accepted into the Art High School (Liceum Sztuk Plastycnych) whose stringent artistic standards stimulated his interest still further.

In 1987 Andrzej immigrated to the United States, where he qualified for an “Honors at Entrance” Scholarship to the Salt Lake Community College to continue with his art education. From there he transferred to the University of Utah where he was a PHI Kappa member, graduating in 1995 with a Bachelor’s Degree in Fine Arts.

Shortly afterwards, Andrzej was selected for an internship with David Dornan, a member of the art faculty at the University of Utah. This internship, a period of three months’ intense painting under David’s direct supervision was unquestionably a key factor in determining Andrzej’s future. Inspired and encouraged, he returned to Salt Lake, rented a studio, and began painting full-time.
