There is frustratingly little on the web about Alicia Wiencek (often shown as Weincek). One would think that her identity was “wife.” Searches on her name turn up many articles about her husband (also a post office muralist), Ernest Fiene. Thanks to an auction site, we know (if we trust the info on the site) that she was an art student in Detroit, Michigan in 1937 and that she won a Kosciuszko Art Foundation Scholarship to study in Poland. A couple of her pieces are held by the Detroit Art Institute, but are not displayed on the DIA website. The Kirkland Museum website tells us that she studied or taught in the Boardman Robinson-founded lithograph department at the Broadmoor Art Academy (though, infuriatingly, Ernest gets a parenthetical as her husband as though that should make her mean something to us). Perhaps I am in a mood…
Wiencek made one post office mural: North Carolina Cotton Industry (Mooresville, North Carolina).
