She got her education in watercolor painting at the Gerlesborg Art school in Sweden. Lena has participated in several juried art shows in Sweden and has recently started to show her work in the USA. Lena is a Signature Member of the Pennsylvania Watercolor Society, the Philadelphia Watercolor Society and the Baltimore Watercolor Society. Her paintings were accepted into the Philadelphia Watercolor Society International Exhibition of Works on Paper, the Pennsylvania Watercolor Society International Juried Exhibition, and the Pittsburgh Watercolor Society Annual International Exhibition, Aqueous Open. Artist statement: I take risks, I try to create rather than duplicate. In my art, I aim to express a feeling or a mood of the object more than an exact picture. 814-777-8532 email: lena@lenathynellwatercolor.com website: www.lenathynellwatercolor.com Facebook: www.facebook.com/lenathynellwatercolor
