Charlotte Shroyer

Growing up in a rural area in Central Ohio where neither family nor school system placed value on art, Charlotte Shroyer chanced upon art in a class requirement for elementary education certification. A BA with a major in French did not prepare her to make a living, but education did and also provided the impetus to become an artist that was to blossom into reality some 40 years later.

Shroyer has received numerous national and international awards for her abstract and contemporary figurative oils and monotypes: 2016, Berliner Honorary Diploma, Berlin, Germany; 2015, Recognition of Artistic Value, Bologna, Italy; 2015, 2nd Place, 87th Annual International Juried Competition, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania; 2015, Emerging International Contemporary Artist, American Juried Art Salon; 2011, First Place, Top Ten International Women in the Arts, Rome, Italy, and more
