November 1, 2008: Reflections: The Life Works of Lynn Thomsen, 1957-2008 Opening Night & Reception "Mobile studio Lynn Thomsen never painted from photographs. A plein air painter, she wanted to breathe in the beauty as she painted. She traveled the Carroll County countryside, stopping when she saw a spectacular view with perfect lighting and composition. Painting from the bed of her pickup, she first created a one-color underpainting. She then added layers of color, producing the vibrance she saw in the moment." - Jennifer Archibald, Carroll County Comet 
Exhibition Schedule: November 2nd - 16th, 2008 
LYNN THOMSEN
PAINTER 1957-2008 "Lynn Thomsen found lyricism in every Indiana landscape, like no other artist, and she depicted it on her canvases with force, passion and a unique luminosity. When you see a Thomsen painting you know it is a Thomsen painting. Lynn Thomsen did for Indiana's cornfields what Vincent Van Gogh did for Europe's wheatfields - turned them to unforgettable visions of nature's beauty." Vicky Keramida, Ph.D. Chairman Alkis Keramidas Museum of Art August 1 - 31, 2008: VisualFringe at KERAMIDA Museum open daily during the month of August The reason IndyFringe exists is to encourage, support and assist independent artists.
