Roman Gierek was born and raised in the north end of Winnipeg. An avid fisherman, his landscapes of calm lakes, rivers and streams with stately trees are inspired while he is on fishing trips and at his home on the Red River south of Winnipeg.

     Roman worked for 33 years with the Winnipeg Police Department, and retired as a Staff Sergeant. He designed the engraving on the Winnipeg Police Centennial Sword and the inside covers of the First Century Police Book, which shows a montage of the police department. He also was a police artist.

     Other credits include commissions and numerous paintings sold through the Hovmand Art Gallery. He has had solo exhibitions in Morris and Ste. Agathe. As well, Roman has exhibited his work at the Manitoba Art Expo, the Northern Art and Garden Show, Artorama, and at the Assiniboine Park Conservatory. Roman is a member of the Assiniboia Group of Artists and the Arts Network in Winnipeg.
