Llyn Towner

Statement:

I work in gouache, pastel, ink and digital drawing. A lifelong painter/poet, images and words have always been the delight of my life. I explore whatever I am engaged with until it’s over for me at the time. This way of working results in series of work around an idea, a color, an image, a medium, a material, a form, a word, a poem, a conversation, all those things that invite curiosity and inquiry.

Llyn Towner 2020

I have spent most of my life painting, reading and writing, oh and yes, working. I like the company of artists. I need the community of artists. Artists dare to dream. I was fortunate enough to have my own business and was able to relocate to Woodstock from NYC 20 years ago.

I became an Active member of the Woodstock Artists’ Association in 2002 and have been in many group shows in local galleries:
Woodstock Artists Association 2002 through 2020
Woodstock Regional “The River” WAA 2009 juror Niko Vicario, Center for Curatorial Studies, Bard
Woodstock Byrdcliffe Guild, Kleinert James Gallery
