Paint Annapolis is on the way! Learn more about the juried artists and get yourself ready for this historic Plein air painting festival.
We’re excited to welcome Lynn Lewis from Kensington, Maryland as a juried artist for Paint Annapolis 2024!
Lynn Lewis has painted en plein air since she was a teen, learning alongside her father on family vacations. She majored in art at Carleton College in Northfield Minnesota and studied art for a semester with the Cleveland Institute of Art in Lacoste, France. Her most influential teachers have been Bernie Dellario and Walt Bartman.
She primarily paints with acrylic and has developed an energetic, shape-oriented style to quickly catch images before mood and lighting shifts. Recently she retired from teaching elementary public school art in Maryland for 34 years.
She was honored to win first place in the “Paint It!” Ellicott City Plein Air 2022 event and in the Quick Draw “Scenes of the City” Falls Church Plein Air 2022 event. In 2023 Lynn participated as a juried artist in Mountain Maryland in Allegheny County, the Harford County Plein Air Festival, and in the Suffolk Plein Air Festival.
Plein Air Magazine selected one of her pieces as “Best Acrylic Plein Air” in their Nationwide November 2023 competition.
She has recently been appointed the Plein Air Chair for the Montgomery Art Association.
