About Lynn Wilson
Plein air artist Lynn Wilson is drawn to capturing the moment of repose as nature bathes the vista with light. While being inspired by a wide variety of subjects, she is particularly fascinated with water. The local scenes of this small riverside town of Aplachicola, Florida and its intriguing surroundings affords this artist with endless subject matter that delights the eye. She is dedicated to capturing this moment in time while this delightful area is still pristine and untouched by the sprawling traffic filled urban landscape of a ever-expanding modern living.
Lynn is the founder of the Pastel Society of Apalachicola (PSA), the Artists' Association of Apalachicola (AAA), and a founding member of the Gulf Alliance for Local Arts (GALA). She is a director on the Apalachicola History, Culture, and Arts Board, a board member of the Franklin County Education Foundation and is a member of the Franklin Cultural Arts Council, as well as a board member of Viscaya Museum and Gardens, Miami, Florida, for 20 years.
In addition to her lifelong career as an international Interior Designer and president of Lynn Wilson Associates International, Lynn has dedicated many years to preserving historic landmark buildings in Apalachicola, having restored the 1838 Cotton Warehouse, which now serves as a cultural center for the Arts, and the historic Sponge Exchange, rescued the magnificant Coombs Mansion and Heart Pine Cottage, currently known as the Coombs House Inn, as well as the Victorian landmark Porter House into "Lynn Haven", the gem of Apalachicola's Historic District .
