Biography from Greenleaf Gallery:
| Therese Nolan Krassowski was born in St. Paul Minnesota. Krassowski, even as a child, knew she wanted to be an artist and persevered in that direction. Studying art for five years at the University of Minnesota and at the Minneapolis Art Institute, she graduated with honors in Fine Arts. She married after graduation and moved to West Lafayette, Indiana, where she began graduate studies in art at Purdue University.
She continued her artwork even as she traveled extensively. Her travels included a year in India and another in Europe. She spent the 1986-87 academic year in Rome, where she studied Renaissance and Baroque art and taught watercolor classes for members of the American University Women's club of Rome. During that year, Krassowski continued to travel and studied the art of Egypt, the Holy Land, Spain, and Greece. She spent the summer of 1987 in Durham, England visiting and painting English gardens. She returned several times to Northern Italy, Florence and Rome on painting expeditions.
She feels it is wonderful to be an artist and to be able to draw and paint. She is a serious artist and is trained to see and observe the world around her with a discerning eye.
In the 1990s, she continued her travels painting and studying in Rome, Poland, Warsaw and Lublin, Poland to study Polish Arts and Crafts, as well as Madras, India to study Indian arts. Her work has been shown at the Triton Museum in San Jose where she received First Award in Pastel.
