Meet the Owner: Eva Jaroszewicz
Eva Jaroszewicz is one of the most experienced art consultants in the country.
She has over thirty-two years experience in the art business.
Nineteen of those years she has been an art dealer, and operated her own gallery.
Her areas of expertise are reflected in the fine art represented at Expression Gallery-
19th and 20th Century Masters, and contemporary paintings- specifically French artists,
and the art of Russian Master Nikolay Blokhin.
Eva is from Poland where she lived most of her early life. She graduated university in Poland
with her degree in Economics. It is this distinction between her and other individuals in
the art business that has lead her to be so successful. Having a degree not in art history gives
her a unique perspective on art. Eva believes quality, enjoyment, and investment are the most
important aspects when looking at fine art.
She is an alumni of one of the most prestigious gallery groups- Merrill Chase.
It is here where she began to build her incredible knowledge of art from
some of the most knowledgeable people in the industry. Eva treasured her time at Merrill
Chase Galleries, and the three other galleries she worked at.
In 2005 she opened Expression Gallery of Fine Art in River North with her late business
partner, Tim DeWine. In 2006 they opened a second Expression Gallery location in Hinsdale.
