Artist Profile

Kathryn Lynch (b. 1961, Philadelphia). Lives and works in the Hudson Valley, New York.

Kathryn Lynch paints the places she lives in and passes through: New York’s harbours and streets, the Hudson Valley, and the coasts of Maine and Long Island. Working in oil with a restrained, tonal palette, she builds soft, layered surfaces from which a boat, a tree or a building slowly emerges.

Lynch paints from memory and feeling rather than direct record. Forms surface and recede within the paint, so the familiar tips toward abstraction: weather compressing a horizon, a tug passing a studio window, sunflowers wilting at the end of a season. Her subjects range from Red Hook, Gowanus and Tribeca to the Hudson Valley and, most recently, Montauk. “I think all my paintings are about time passing,” she has said.

Lynch received a BA from William Smith College and an MFA from the University of Pennsylvania, and attended the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture. She has worked with Sears-Peyton Gallery, New York, for more than a decade, most recently on Time Capsules (2026). In 2026 she also presented Weather at Huxley-Parlour, London. Recent exhibitions include the Center for Maine Contemporary Art Biennial (2025) and Karma, Thomaston (2025). She received a NYSCA/NYFA Artist Fellowship in Painting in 2018, and her residencies include Yaddo, the Marie Walsh Sharpe Foundation and the Edward F. Albee Foundation.

Her work is held in public and corporate collections including the University of California, Berkeley Art Museum, the Fort Wayne Museum of Art, the Wellington Art Collection, London, and Microsoft.
