2024 JUROR OF AWARDS:  Susan Hope Fogel AWS:

We are delighted to have engaged Susan Hope Fogel AWS as exhibition juror and workshop teacher. Susan has studied at the NY Academy of Art, the Art Students League, and the National Academy of Design. She had the opportunity to work with Paul Ching-Bor to explore a new form of expression in Deconstructionist Watercolor. She was inspired by the experimental quality of this work which allowed for great freedom of expression, drawing from an intuitive place rather than from the outside world. The focus of her work shifted from traditional realism in oils to large scale watercolor painting with an emphasis on abstraction of landscape and cityscape. 

Susan started her art school, The Warwick Atelier, in 2008 as a forum for creative development. She teaches ongoing classes and has taught workshops in Tuscany, Ireland, Cape Cod and other places. Her work has been discussed in American Artist magazine, also a Special edition of American Artist and Southwest Art magazine.

She has exhibited her work in the NY/NJ/MA region as well as Santa Fe, Italy, and Istanbul. She is a Signature Member of the American Watercolor Society.  Website: susanhopefogelfineart.com
