Sophie Metrofski

Sophie Metrofski (1918-2012) was a Polish artist and educator, and served as a registered nurse in her town of Manchester, Connecticut. She specialized in creating wycinanki, cut paper designs, a popular Polish traditional decorative art. People and organizations in the Polish community collected her work, and she taught several classes in schools and educational settings in Connecticut and Massachusetts. A longtime member of the Polish American Historical Society, Sophie participated in the CCHAP exhibition, “Polonia w Connecticut” in 2000, by loaning several of her wycinanki for display.
