About...

Victoria Brzustowicz is an award-winning painter from Rochester, NY. Brzustowicz’s work moves between abstraction and representation, with a strong focus on surface quality and expressive mark-making. Her work has been exhibited nationally, and is in private collections across the country.

Brzustowicz co-founded and chairs the Greater Rochester Plein Air Painters (GRPAP). This group gathers throughout the year to paint outdoors, fostering camaraderie and shared artistic exploration. Her passion for plein air painting, coupled with her role as an educator and community leader, underscores her commitment to fostering creativity and artistic growth within the artistic landscape of New York's Finger Lakes region.

In addition to her role with GRPAP, Brzustowicz is affiliated with the Flower City Arts Center, where she teaches drawing and painting (oil, pastel, and gouache). She also teaches at the Art Stop in Penfield, NY, (drawing, oil, and gouache). She has conducted numerous plein air workshops, including for Wood Library in Canandaigua, Cumming Nature Center (Rochester Museum & Science Center), and Main Street Arts in Clifton Springs, NY.

Victoria Brzustowicz is a Signature member of Rochester Art Club and a member of Pastel Society of Western New York. She is a juried-in Associate member of the Pastel Society of America.
