In 1995 Scesniak began the Brady Street Pictograph project. In the next 2 years she blasted eighty-six original drawings into the Brady Street tree border area. Each site-specific pictograph reflected the street`s rich historic tapestry.
Just like their namesakes: cave paintings, they have weathered and reflect the passing of time.
In 1999 the Concrete Visions book was produced to serve as a souvenir and guide to the 8 block long Milwaukee street.

A BFA and teaching certification from UW-Milwaukee provided Scesniak (pronounced says-KNEE-ac) with the credentials fro her 30-year profession as an art teacher. "Teaching a variety of art lessons" says Scesniak, "is a joy. It is wonderful to share techniques, persepectives, and tips from my life-long learning as an artist."
