Lynne Larson’s artwork in oil and pastel is inspired by the beauty of the South Carolina Lowcountry and her native Maine. Her work seeks to evoke emotion and memory through the use of bold color and a deep love of nature.
A former science journalist and editor, Lynne believes in the power of an image to engage, inspire and spur imagination.
“I try to paint in the vein of a photojournalist. My goal is to capture a moment in time, then pull the viewer into a narrative. My art aims to physically represent story and emotion.”
Lynne has studied with noted artists in Maine, the Carolinas, Maryland, and at the Providence Art Club, the second oldest art club in the United States, where she exhibited in shows that draw artists and collectors from across New England. Her work also appears in shows in Beaufort and Spring Island, SC. She holds a B.S. in Journalism from Middle Tennessee State University and, under a pen name, is a published novelist.
When not painting, Lynne may be found birdwatching the marsh around her South Carolina island home, gardening, or reading with her cats and Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, Dash.
