Lynn VanNatta | Artist Statement

“My life as an artist began early when my encouraging parents enrolled me in classes at the Summit New Jersey Art Association. In my teens, I spent much of my time in the high school art room, then later studied art at Colorado State University. In 1980, I received a BFA in Art Education at University of Massachusetts in Amherst. I have been painting in oils since the 1990s.

“My art has been exhibited in Jeffersonville, VT, at the Bryan Memorial Gallery’s juried shows, where I received awards for work submitted to their prestigious Land Light Water and Air shows. In Vermont, I am currently represented at the Artistree Gallery in Pomfret, the Vault Gallery of Springfield, Danvillia Gallery, Chester, and the Southern Vermont Art Center, Manchester. I received honorary recognition from the American Impressionist Society in their Fall 2022 online competition. I had the pleasure of showing several work also at the Bennington Museum of Art, which celebrated the Vermont State Parks.
In 1994, I founded the Crossroads Studio of Fine Arts in Boxford, MA, and in-home studio/classroom where I offered arts and crafts to children and adult painting classes.

“More recently, I taught special needs art classes to adults at A.V.A. Art Lab in Lebanon, NH, and Zach’s Place in Woodstock, as well as adult oil painting classes at Artistree.

“My painting style has been influenced by the Cape Ann Painters of Massachusetts. Landscape painter Caleb Stone of Cape Ann is my long-time mentor. Copley Master, Mark Hayedn of Bradford, MA, encouraged my early exploration in oils. His teachings in portrait and still life painting has had a lasting influence.

“In my Shattuck Hill studio/gallery in West Windsor, VT, I offer private and small group lessons. There you may see more of my paintings by appointment.”
