Lynch is well known for her striking ability to express her quiet confidence and honest simplicity in her work. Her subjects transcend mere representation towards capturing the essence of their being. Lynch does not focus on the physical anatomy of what she paints but is driven to capture the emotional presence of her subjects. The ordinary and mundane becomes illuminated within Lynch’s work and quickly captures each viewer in a poignant way. Lynch approaches her subjects with patience, diligence, and incredible focus- constantly challenging herself to complete a unique body of work.

This exhibition features Lynch’s new paintings and watercolors on both paper and canvas that are Lynch’s time spent in both Spain and Mexico. Depicting beautiful scenes of sunsets and warm skies, this new body of work has a palpable warmth to it. “I am not painting a specific place, I’m painting a specific mood and feeling about a place,” Kathryn said. “Seasons change the moods and feelings about a place. Many a poet has based their poetry on seasons, and I am basing my paintings on seasons.” A sage of place, Kathryn parses the new accumulation of imagery into universally resonant moments. The series of blue works are reminiscent from Lynch’s time spent at the Virginia Center for Creative Arts. Exploring the environment around her, this blue series also emanates a warmthcaptivating the audience.

Born and raised in Philadelphia, Kathryn Lynch received her undergraduate degree from William Smith College in Geneva, NY, and an MFA at the University of Pennsylvania in 1990. Since earning her MFA, Lynch has had eleven solo exhibitions, well over thirty group shows, and has works featured in both corporate and public collections. Some of these include Microsoft, Johnson & Johnson, Pfizer, and the Millennium Art Collection in the Ritz Carlton, Battery Park, in NYC.
