Obituary for Paul Bernard Morzinski
Paul B. Morzinski
Paul was born January 31, 1964 in Washington D.C. to George J. Morzinski and Janice E. (Kodym) Morzinski.
Paul’s artistic talent emerged early in his life, while looking for classic cars out of the rear window of a 1965 Plymouth Fury wagon on family road trips. His passion for cars remained constant throughout his life.
After graduating from the Art Institute of Pittsburgh with a degree in visual communications, Paul's interest in photographing junkyards, race cars, and show bikes added to his visual memory. These pursuits were experienced during periods of freedom from career, which allowed for the ability to photograph, paint, explore, and create surreal artwork. Paul’s passion to create his sculptures required the highly valued possession of time, and allowed his curiosity and potential to manifest.
In 1989, Paul moved to Seattle, Wa, then on to California, where he resided for some years. He then relocated to Utah for a brief time, before moving to Boulder. He spent many years collecting materials and creating incredible metal sculptures, two of which were entered into an Artprize competition in Michigan in 2011.
Paul’s love of muscle cars, old pickup trucks and trailers is evident in his current collection; he spent the rest of his days working on all of his projects.
Paul was preceded in death by his mother, Janice Morzinski. He is survived by his father, George Morzinski, his sister, Mary Ann Sarnovsky, his nephew and niece; Adam and Grace Sarnovsky, his Aunt Mary Redmond, his cousin Catherine Mary Ornelas, her husband John Ornelas, and their children; Xavier and Alexandria Ornelas.
