Stratmann/Lynn Landscapes
August 7-September 29

An exhibition of the work of painter Trice Stratmann and photographer Shayne Lynn, depicting the essence of nature from two distinct vantage points. Trice Stratmann creates moments of energy and beauty using color and form to capture transparent and luminous visions. Shayne Lynn's travels have formed the basis of his astute eye and ability to craft images intense with life and evoking mystery. Viewers will be enveloped in beauty and will also experience an opportunity to reflect on the endless variants that come into play in understanding our environment.

Trice Stratmann came to Vermont in 1976, studied marble sculpture with Paul Aschenbach and graduated from the University of Vermont in 1980 with a BA in Art. She also studied at the University of Southern Maine and the Shelburne Craft School (now Shelburne Art Center). During the past twenty years she has worked as a designer, sculptor and painter. Her work has been exhibited in the New England area since 1979.

Native Vermonter Shayne Lynn became a photographer during his sports-related travels through the Rocky Mountains, the Alps, and the Andes. He then studied at Brooks Institute of Photography in Santa Barbara, California and subsequently launched a career as a commercial photographer. Interactions with people and nature have broadened his perspective as a fine art photographer.
