The Courthouse Gallery in Lake George features artist Kathryn Lynch's captivating artwork that captures the beauty of everyday life, from Hudson Valley scenery to urban cityscapes and everything in between.
Rather than relying on direct observation alone, her works are inspired by moments she holds close to her heart; memories transported through a simplistic style that builds atmosphere with light brush strokes.
Expressing an emotional connection with nature more so than physical features allows Ms. Lynch’s pieces to communicate unique sentiments rather than simply document what is seen. As such, each painting serves as both an homage and heartfelt reminder for when we, too, move on – enabling us “to keep painting it" even after leaving the scene behind.
A talented and diverse artist who has developed an impressive body of work, Ms. Lynch earned her BA from William Smith College, an MFA from the University of Pennsylvania, and studied at Skowhegan School for Painting & Sculpture to acquire the creative skill set she now proudly exhibits in galleries across America.
