Lynn Kotula (1945-2021) created a kind of magic that is simultaneously quiet and robust. Completely lacking in pretense, her still life and landscape paintings are built on acute sensitivity, keen analysis, and deep love for the experience of seeing.

“A lemon painted by Lynn Kotula is proof that art exists.” —Thaddeus Raddell, review of “Rooms With a View: Seven Artists at Westbeth Gallery”
