Joe Mancuso

 Joe is greatly influenced by the changing of seasons and the weather and celebrates the moods each season brings.  Known for the special quality of light in his work, he enjoys working on location to accurately see and capture the changing light. “Although I may be attracted to a certain place or scene, it is always my goal to move beyond a literal translation and say something extraordinary about light in my work.  It is always the light.”  Joe’s hard work is often rewarded.  In 2021, Joe achieved Master Circle Status with I. A. P. S., the International Association of Pastel Societies.  Joe is a member of many art organizations.  He is a Signature Member with the Pastel Society of America and an Artist Member of the California Art Club.  He is also an Artist Member of the Laguna Beach Plein Air Painters as well as a Distinguished Pastelist with The Pastel Society Of The West Coast.  He has also won many other awards at numerous shows including Best Of Show, The Artist’s Choice, People’s Choice and Best Pastel.
