Biographical Note

Roxolana Luczakowsky Armstrong

Born 1938 in Stanislaviv, Ukraine, Roxolana Luczakowsky fled Soviet persecution with her family after World War II. She emigrated with them to the United States and settled in Philadelphia, where she studied at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts and received the BFA degree.

While working in Spain in techniques of classic mosaic and stained glass, she adopted the use of transparent polymer resins and discovered her own vision of a transparent, luminous three-dimensional mosaic. These creations, under the name of "Crystal Art", may be found in homes, churches, and public buildings in Europe and America.

Miss Luczakowsky's drawings and paintings in oil, acrylic, and watercolor have appeared in group shows at Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, Philadelphia; The Ukrainian Institute, New York; Gallery II, Princeton, N.J.; Arte Joven, Torremolinos; Salón de Invierno, Malaga; Circulo 2, Madrid; Contemporary Christian Art, Philadelphia; Museo de Arte Contemporaneo, Malaga; and Certamen de Pintura, Santander.

Her individual shows include appearances at the Ukrainian Institute, New York; Palacio de Congresos, Torremolinos; Galeria Provincia, Leon; Banco de Granada, Almuñecar; Saint Sophia Institute, Washington, D.C.; Galeria Malakke, Malaga; Library of the Basilian Nuns, Fox Chase, Philadelphia.

Her work is found in the Marian Center of Studies, Cincinnati, Ohio; the John Paul II Cultural Center in Washington, D.C., and numerous private collections. Recently she completed a series of 24 historical illustrations for the Lord of History educational trading cards.

Roxolana Luczakowsky lives in Front Royal, Va., with her husband, the sculptor H. Reed Armstrong. More of her work may be seen at her web site, A.G. Dei Co.
