Don't miss this outstanding exhibition of paintings and Photographs
by Peter Jeziorski and Robert McCullough
On Friday, December 12, 2025, NCI ARTworks will host an opening reception for the exhibition of photographer Robert McCullough and watercolor artist Peter Jeziorski. The opening reception begins at 6pm, it is free, and all are welcome. In addition, Jeziorski will host a discussion from 5 to 6pm on the topic of art and life inspired by his Polish immigrant upbringing.
Peter Jeziorski is an accomplished watercolor artist who has exhibited his works in the Midwest and East Coast over the past 40 years. Born in Poland, his family moved to the United States when he was ten years old and settled in Chicago. He graduated from the American Academy of Art in Chicago where he studied watercolor painting with Irving Shapiro, and later attended the Art Institute of Chicago. He has held a number of one-man shows in Illinois, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and has exhibited with Knickerbocker Artists, in which he was a member, in New York City. The Midwest farm life and the expansive prairies and cornfields were the subjects of his first series of watercolors. Later, he moved to the East Coast where the Bucks County, PA stone houses and bridges captured his attention. During these years, he worked as an executive Art Director in the publishing profession.
Robert McCoullough is a photographer currently residing in Illinois. He is a very passionate photographer. Being from the Midwest, most of his images include farms, woods, and small towns. He also likes to use many different styles in his editing as he likes to have the image show what it wants to be.
The work of both of these talented artists will be on exhibit and available for purchase at NCI ARTworks Gallery from December 12th to the first week of January.
