SUSAN K. LENCZOWSKI
I have been involved in fine arts
for most of my life. I learned about painting and sculpture from my
mother and grandfather while growing up in Connecticut, and studied art and art
history as an undergraduate student. Throughout a career in government,
private sector business, and raising my family in Washington, D.C., I have continued
my interests in painting and drawing. My
ideal medium is watercolor, with its special qualities of fluidity and
transparency. I enjoy exploring the dramatic possibilities of line,
color, form and especially light, as it transforms ordinary scenes and objects.
My
watercolor paintings have been accepted into juried exhibitions at the Yellow
Barn Gallery in historic Glen Echo Park in Maryland; at the Torpedo Factory Art
Center in Alexandria, Virginia; at the Burwell-Morgan Mill in Millwood,
Virginia; and at the Friendship Heights Village Center in Chevy Chase, Maryland.
My work has also been exhibited at the
BlackRock Center for the Arts in Germantown, the Women's Club of Chevy Chase,
the Art Gallery of Potomac, and at the Artistic Gallery in Wheaton, all in
Maryland. I have done a variety of
privately commissioned projects.
I
am a Signature Member of the Baltimore Watercolor Society, and I hold
membership in the Art League in Alexandria, Virginia. I also am a member of the Washington Water
Color Association and the Friends of the Yellow Barn Studio in Maryland. In addition, I help to run a painting program
for homeless residents at the Missionaries of Charity shelter established by
Mother Teresa of Calcutta on Otis Street in Washington, D.C.
