Vermont artist Meryl Lebowitz has been creating unique visual art for more than 30 years.  A self-taught oil painter, Lebowitz has experimented with painting not only on canvas and paper, but on a variety of unlikely surfaces, from violins to scrap metal. Her paintings range from the realistic to the surrealistic, often combining photographs with the painted image. Her subjects are familiar: local faces and landscapes, the interior of her studio or favorite restaurants, friends and family, but their appeal is universal. Her award winning work can be found in collections throughout the United States.

From the Lilacs is from her florals collection.  “Summertime is glorious in the Northeast Kingdom and gardening is a passion, maybe even an obsession, of mine. I spend hours upon hours in the garden. In the same way every painter arranges a still life or poses a nude, I arrange my plants, flowers and trees taking full advantage of the ruggedness of our rocky land and the sweeping vistas of our Kirby retreat.” - Meryl Lebowitz
