LYNN BERRY

     Education - Lynn earned a Bachelor of Arts from Notre Dame College and a Master of Education degree from the College of New Jersey. She received additional art training at the Cleveland Institute of Art.
      Artist - Although versed in several different mediums including acrylic, watercolor, and photography, acrylic is Lynn’s medium of choice. Her style is contemporary, with subject matter that reflects the world of nature as it comes in concert with the female figure. A series of expressive bodyscapes has been at the core of her paintings. More recently, these paintings have been complemented by a series of clean landscapes of summers on Cape Cod. Lynn is also a creative photographer, capturing Vermont landscapes, Provincetown seascapes, and the characters of Carnival Week.
    Educator - As an educator, Lynn strives to enrich the lives of students by opening the door to a lifetime of aesthetic enjoyment, intellectual stimulation and creative inspiration. Lynn has taught a variety of Art courses since 1999 at the Community College of Vermont in Newport, and provides art instruction at the Elizabeth Taylor Hatton Elementary School in Morgan. A Vermont State Certified Art Educator and Guidance Counselor, she retired from full-time Guidance in 2003 to devote more time to her painting.
    Writer - Lynn co-wrote and illustrated a collection of poems with Max Ellison entitled “Double Take” (1973). Lynn has also provided lyrics and album cover designs for several CD’s in collaboration with singer-songwriter Emily Nyman.
    Exhibits - Lynn has exhibited in several group shows including “For Arts Sake” in Stowe sponsored by the Helen Day Art Center, the Catamount Arts Digital Photography Exhibit, The Women’s Arts Festival (Fairlee VT.), and several local shows where her work has been well received, earning People’s Choice and Best in Show Awards. In April 2006, Lynn had her first solo exhibit at the Catamount Arts Center in St. Johnsbury, Vermont. Entitled “Past and Present”, this show was a collection of acrylic paintings produced during the past decade. In July of 2006, Lynn’s female bodyscapes provided the perfect complement for “Hot flashes”, a QNEK theater production. In November 2006, Lynn had a solo exhibit at the Newport Natural Foods Gallery. Featuring acrylic paintings and photography, this exhibit included a sampling of Provincetown Carnival photos. In May 2007, Lynn displayed her work at the Human Rights Campaign-sponsored Equality Forum in Philadelphia.
