Lynn M. Rix began to paint ten years ago while living in the South of France, birthplace of Impressionism. She continues to attend workshops from leading “plein-air” painters in France, California, Connecticut, Cape Cod, and Wisconsin. “ I love the challenge of looking at a scene and simplifying it into shapes, colors and my own vision. Painting on site, with quick brush work and a limited palette, forces me to work spontaneously. I strive to give the viewer a quick snapshot of that particular moment in time; an impression of an effect of light I felt to be beautiful.” Her works have been in numerous juried shows, group shows and are a part of both private and corporate collections. She is a member of Oil Painters of America and represented by The Lakes Gallery of Fine Arts in North Lake, Wisconsin. More of her works may be viewed on www.portalwisconsin.org
