Drawing upon more than four decades of professional excellence, Susan Lascelles has enjoyed art since childhood. Learning to create stained glass at age 16, she desired to enter the artistic community and make a name in the blossoming field. Notably, she entered the industry in 1981 with “Uncut,” which she animated, made stained glass, and served as a painter and photographer. During this time, she was also represented in group shows in New York City and Springfield, Ohio, and abroad in Zurich, Switzerland.
Ms. Lascelles has since made a pronounced impact on the art industry, with dozens of group shows to her credit, including in the Upper Arlington Public Library in Columbus, Ohio; The Dance Circle in Ithaca, New York; New Doors of the Arts in Tucson, Arizona; the Annual Jerome Beillard Festival for Life for the Southern Arizona AIDS Foundation; and the Woman Kraft Gallery and Solar Culture Gallery between 2004 and 2015. Impressively, Ms. Lascelles’ work has been represented domestically and overseas in permanent collections at the Corning Museum Glass Film Library, Empire State College, Färber Hüsli in Switzerland, and Min Fang Liu in Japan, among others.
To supplement her career experience, Ms. Lascelles pursued coursework at The Ohio State University in the mid-1980s. She went on to obtain a Bachelor of Arts in fine art from Empire State College in 1990. Alongside her prestigious work with her eponymous art company, Lascelles Art, she was a contributing artist for Swiss-Galerie.ch in Switzerland. Civically engaged as well, Ms. Lascelles has donated paintings to charitable causes and the World Wildlife Fund, and she is a firm supporter of such movements as Black Lives Matter, women’s rights, world peace and cancer research.
In accounting for her success, Ms. Lascelles credits her family’s support of her artistic career early in life, which helped her get started in the art business. She also attributes her success to hard work, which has led to her working on several commissions over the past 40 years. Looking toward the future, Ms. Lascelles aims to continue showcasing her work at prominent venues, such as the Guggenheim Museum in New York City. Furthermore, she desires to finish painting her miniature canvas “Money for the Apocalypse” and her color theory work “Mandalas as Prayers as Healing of the Earth.” She vows to give 20% of her profits to supporting world peace and other causes.
