In Crisis
Sarah as She is Seen – A DVS Fundraising Art Exhibit
Tom created a full collection of nude paintings based from 1 local model- Sarah. The work depicts 2 sides to the American woman; how they appear to those who see them and how they are made to feel based on our treatment of them.
This show is also a fundraising event for Domestic Violence Services of Lancaster with 20% of all proceeds being donated to the local nonprofit. The event is free to attend, but let us know if you’re coming! Click here for tickets.
If you’re unable to attend, but would still like to contribute, visit CAPLanc.org/Donate.
Tom Santosusso is a painter now living in Lancaster, PA.Originally from Philadelphia and trained as a chemist (he holds a Ph.D. in organic chemistry), he is largely self-taught.He began painting about 20 years ago when his daughter brought home some acrylic painting materials from a college course. More a colorist than a draughtsman, he is often amazed by the beauty that emerges as he works on a piece.He would encourage anyone who would like to create to ignore the “inner critic” that stifles so many artistic endeavors and to plunge in and “just do it.”
