Linda Lyons Rynkowski MFA '11

Alumni Show at Darien Library through May 31st

The Darien library opened its newest free art exhibit, which features the landscape paintings of local artist Linda Lyons Rynkowski, on Thursday, April 12. The show runs through Thursday, May 31. There was an opening reception on Friday, May 18, from 6-8.
Lyons graduated in May with an master's in fine arts degree in painting from Western Connecticut State University; she was also asked in January to join the Artist Residency Program at the Vermont Studio Center.

"When engaged in painting from observation, I seek to evoke the sense of atmospheric phenomenon found in nature, creating a dialogue in which the subject transcends the canvas, evoking a sense of deep, intimate space, the perception of color as light," she said.

Lyons holds a bachelor's of fine arts in graphic design from the College of Fine Arts at Boston University and has been awarded graduate certificates from her studies in the arts from the Yale Summer Graduate Program in Graphic Design, formerly of Brissago, Switzerland, as well as the Maine Summer Institute of Graphic Design at the Portland School of Art. She has also served as an adjunct professor at Southern Connecticut State University.

As always, the exhibit is free.
