Art can be a lot of different things to people. For artist Nova Czarnecki it means many things, but above all else it is a way to find healing. “I have always liked painting figures. One time I was painting a figure of a woman and I decided I was going to work through some of my own stuff, so I decided to start adding pieces of nature to replace parts of the body, to literally replace the trauma with the power and beauty of nature. This is how painting evolved into this healing type of prayer for me.” Nova has two pieces on display in Baird Center as part of the We Energies Foundation Art Collection. Both pieces incorporate her unique interpretation of the human spirit and its communion with the natural world. "The Great Unthawing" depicts a young man walking through a Wisconsin woods as the state transitions from winter into spring, while "Honeyed" shows a woman being embraced by nature as summer turns to autumn.

Artist Nova Czarnecki always had a vivid imagination and creative spirit. When she found a set of tiny oil paint at the age of ten, she was forever hooked. The two pieces Nova has on display at Baird Center, as part of the We Energies Foundation Art Collection, fuse the classic look and texture you can only get from oil paints with her unique interpretation of the human spirit and its communion with the natural world.
