About the Awards Artist 
Susan Danko, Cleveland
Susan Danko’s nature-based paintings are inspired and developed through a process of observation, memory, and imagined environmental scenarios. Each painting evolves intuitively and is created through a process of layered washes, hand-cut stencils and delicate line work. The resulting paintings evoke natural places of beauty and mystery.
Danko is a lifelong Cleveland, Ohio, resident who has been creating and exhibiting her artwork since receiving a B.F.A. in painting from the Cleveland Institute of Art in 1998. As a student she received honors, including the Joseph McCullough painting award and the Ellen Battell Stoeckel painting fellowship from Yale University.
Danko has shown her work in solo, group and invitational exhibitions at a variety of venues, including the Cleveland Botanical Gardens, the Butler Museum of American Art and SPACES. Her exhibitions have been favorably reviewed in sources including the Cleveland Plain Dealer and the Akron Beacon Journal. Her artwork has also been published in Angle Magazine (2006) and Studio Visit Magazine 2012).
Danko’s paintings have been included in prominent public and private art collections, including the Cleveland Clinic, Cleveland State University, and Nordson Corporation. She exhibits her work with Harris-Stanton Gallery in Akron, and Bonfoey Gallery in Cleveland. She is also affiliated with the Red Dot Project in Cleveland.
