Appolonia Jamison May 23, 2023

Growing up in Hungary, Appolonia Jamison soon learned that the arts were an integral part of her native country's educational system. That background gave her a solid understanding of the visual and performing arts. Today, whether she is painting a Kansas landscape or performing as a vocal soloist in her church, she shines with talent and a lifelong love of the arts, built on those early experiences. 

After moving to the United States and raising a family, Appolonia continued to hone her painting skills. She also is a skilled craftswoman who for the past eight years* has supervised the picture framing studio at Frameworks of Topeka and has developed a reputation as one of the leading designers in the field.
