Lynda Reeves McIntyre

Not satisfied with simply setting her imagination to canvas, Lynda McIntrye hikes in all weather to locations that inspire her, to “instill in her works a visceral personal experience,” according to her artist statement. In her exhibit at All Souls Interfaith Gathering in Shelburne, the University of Vermont studio art professor shows work in a variety of media. These include watercolors from her “Sun and Sea” series, ink drawings made in the mountains of the Baja Peninsula, photographs and a domestic installation of paint-absorbed paper towels and deteriorating dishtowels. McIntyre writes, “This may sound rather diverse, yet the show holds together well and has a natural flow.” That makes sense, given that her theme explores the textures and joys of being alive.
