Native
Clevelander
and
BW
grad
Christina
Sadowski
celebrated
her
birthplace
in
her
first
solo
exhibition
at
the
E11even
2
gallery,
a
contemporary
art
gallery
Sadowski
helped
to
open.
Juxtaposing
skyline
with
reflections,
Sadowski's
exhibit,
"Reflections
of
Cleveland,"
focuses
on
combining
her
newfound
love
for
kayaking,
interactions
with
water
and
her
love
for
Cleveland.
In
her
review
of
Sadowski's
exhibit,
Cleveland
Scene's
Dott
von
Schneider
said,
"Sadowski's
first
exhibition
is
unique
in
its
storyline
and
viewpoint.
The
pieces
are
much
like
film
stills,
portraits
of
a
peaceful
hour
that
furthers
our
affection
for
our
beautiful
city."
The
Power
of
BW's
Core
Classes
Though
Sadowski
had
always
explored
and
experimented
with
art,
it
wasn't
until
her
time
at
Baldwin
Wallace
that
she
solidified
her
passion
in
photography.
Though
pursuing
a
non-arts
degree
in
human
resource
management
and
business
administration,
Sadowski's
exploration
of
core
classes
led
her
to
discover
her
passion
-
photography.
Through
the
mentorship
and
support
of
her
BW
professors,
Sadowski's
portfolio
was
entered
into
the
Photoshop
World
Conference
scholarship
contest,
in
which
Sadowski
was
one
of
25
U.S.
students
selected
for
the
scholarship.
She
additionally
took
home
"Best
in
Show"
and
the
"Academic
Dean's
Award"
at
the
BW
Student
Art
Exhibition
that
year.
Cleveland
Passion
in
Work
In
addition
to
her
photography
business,
Sadowski
co-owns
and
operates
the
E11even
2
gallery,
which
is
located
in
78th
Street
Studios
in
Cleveland.
She
also
operates
an
Etsy
shop,
selling
Cleveland-centered
products.
Additionally,
Sadowski
applies
her
undergraduate
degree
as
a
senior
human
resource
generalist
for
a
family-owned
manufacturing
company.
