"Lynn Rix began painting in 1995 while living in the south of France.
She was physically and emotionally compelled to try to put down on canvas the beauty of the area. An inspiration that has sustained her in the pursuit of creating the fresh canvas in an impressionistic manner “en plein air “. Rix paints because she loves the challenge of looking at a familiar scene and simplifying it into shapes, colors and her own vision. Painting from life outside, with quick brush work and a limited palette, she is forced to work spontaneously before the light changes. The Wisconsin rural landscape and small towns in all four of its unique seasons, gives her endless inspiration. In a boat in the summer or on the ski hill in the winter, Rix embraces it all with her joyful painting."
