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
"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, excerpt from the article 'Lynn Thomsen's Art - A Legacy of Love,' Carroll County Comet
