Janet Mrachek lived outside of Wabasha and created watercolors and drawings that evoke the rustic landscape of the area.  During her painting career which started later in her life, her original works were hung in numerous shows and galleries.  
Janet passed away in 1980.  
The artwork in this exhibit has been provided by her daughter Jan Mrachek. 
Limited edition prints are available and proceeds will benefit the Library. 

Jan will host an Open House on Monday, Aug. 22nd at 6:00 p.m.
All are Welcome!
