Stanka Kordic
Stanka Kordic is a first generation American born of Croatian parents. She followed her talented brothers, Vladimir and Branko
into the world of Art. Stanka graduated from the Cleveland Institute of
Art in 1985, with a major in illustration and a minor in painting.
From there, she traveled Europe, taking in as much art as humanly
possible. She returned to work as an illustrator for several years.
Her projects included editorial art, package design, and book
illustration.
In pursuit of artistic freedom, she left the
commercial world in 1988 to establish a professional art studio,
concentrating her efforts on painting the landscape and figure. This
led to portrait commissions, international awards, and inclusion in
several corporate collections throughout the midwest, including
Cleveland Clinic, University Hospitals, and Key Corp. Since 2009, her
focus has been to develop her personal figurative work. Stanka's awards
include, the Gold Medal of Honor in Painting from Allied Artists of
America, and 2 Certificates of Excellence from the Portrait Society of
America International Competition. Her work has been exhibited in venues
nationally, among them, the National Arts Club, and the Salmagundi Club
in New York City, as well as the Butler Institute of American Art in
Youngstown, Ohio. Her private collectors span the US and Europe. Stanka Kordic also serves as Artist in Residence at Beaumont School, sharing her knowledge of painting with students who have chosen a focus in visual art.
