Kathryn Lynch

Crafting poetry with paint, Kathryn Lynch meditates on places and memories, abstracting the moods, seasons, and timeless beauty within even the simplest forms. Her soft brushstrokes build blurry unconsciousnesses, transforming her views of New York into both everywhere and nowhere at once. Lynch reaches out, offering telephone poles, streets, and flickering lights as sites of resonance, connecting with the soft memories of each passerby.

Kathryn Lynch (b. 1961), received her MFA from the University of Pennsylvania in 1990. She has participated in several residency programmes including, the Skowhegan Alumni Residency (2021), Foundation Valparaiso Residency (2018), and the Marie Walsh Sharpe Foundation (1995).
