Mrs Kozlowski is the latest artist to take up the opportunity to use the space that is becoming popular with visitors and residents alike.
"It is an honour and a privilege to be exhibiting my artwork at this beautiful venue," Mrs Kozlowski said.
"The lovely town of Leeton holds a special place in my heart as I lived there for a number of years and it is where I started my secondary education.
"It is my hope these selected artworks bring as much pleasure to the viewer as I have found in preparing and presenting them."
Mrs Kozlowski's collection at the Hydro is a selection of paintings she has created over the past two years.
Most of her inspiration comes from landscapes.
"I really enjoy landscape paintings ... that's the theme behind a lot of the works (at the hydro)," Mrs Kozlowski.
"Most of what I do is landscape paintings, but I also do portraiture and still life.
"I enjoy exhibiting in as many art shows and competitions as I can."
In 2010 and 2011 she placed first in the traditional painting category at the Yanco Agricultural Art Exhibition, as well as two firsts in 2012 and 2013 in the sculpture section.
Mrs Kozwolski has also held various solo exhibitions and hoped her work in Leeton would inspire others to take up the craft.
"I always like to share my love of painting," she said.
"It's a passion I have."
Mrs Kozlowski's work will feature at the Historic Hydro Motor Inn until the end of August.
