53rd Annual Mark Twain Library Art Show
Artist’s Bio:
CLJ Lancaster attended Loyola University, The American Academy of Art in Chicago, Illinois, and was a member of the Palette and Chisel Academy of Fine Arts for many years. Many years ago she abandoned the occupation of illustrator to pursue painting in the traditional manner. Believing that contemporary American culture is driven by fast-paced hollow trends that rapidly emerge and recede, and finding this spiritually oppressive to seeking integral truths about passion and reason, CLJ desires to create paintings that reconcile imagination and understanding in symbolism. Connecting the invisible with the visible in the painting in a sanctuary-like escape from these current trends, singularly, in competition and even opposition with them. The paintings are a vehicle for penetrating clarity into one’s own visionary thought or intuition.
CLJ Lancaster has exhibited in Chicago, New York City, London, Toronto, Paris and Florence, and maintains a studio in West Redding, Connecticut, USA.
