During the day, the windows require close inspection. They are subtle, snow-white with ghosts. At night, they glow from afar, revealing their depth. See more of Lyz Wendland’s work.

About Susan Hensel Gallery – Contemporary Art by Susan Hensel

Opened September 10th, 2004 Susan Hensel Gallery was a gallery and also a workspace presenting 5-6 shows per year devoted to the concept of narrative in the arts in an intimate space, with hardwood floors and high tin ceilings. The Susan Hensel Gallery is now both a window gallery on Cedar Avenue. This is the main thoroughfare in south Minneapolis and an online venture represented on Artsy.net. In March 2013, the interior space reverted to a working studio for Susan Hensel. This space also allows her to continue to work on small and largescale artwork with an attitude.

You can also find her current work at Susan Hensel Projects. The studio remains open to the public by appointment or chance, on Monday-Saturday, 10 am-5 pm. You are welcome to drop by this gallery/workspace at any time. Additionally, the well-lit Windows on Cedar Project are available to be seen 24 hours a day.
