Artist: Lyn Coffey

Lyn Coffey grew up in an artistic household and has been painting since early childhood. She received her BFA at Parsons School of Design in NYC. Working professionally as a graphic designer has greatly influenced her fine art. Painting intuitively en plein air has become an important part of her process. When observing daily life or creating a narrative, capturing a true sense of place is inherent. As an award winning artist she has been working exclusively in oil with a focus on coastal landscapes since moving to Cape Cod in 2020. Lyn maintains a working studio in Cotuit and is represented by ‘The Colors of Chatham’ located at 402 Main Street. 

This year’s whale painting of Stage Harbor was based on Barry Desilets photograph @the_colors_of_chatham

Lyn Coffey grew up in CT and painted alongside her mother before pursuing her own art career. Lyn studied at Parsons School of Design in New York City and received her BFA in Communication Design. After working at design studios in NYC, Lyn found her way cross country to San Francisco via Stowe, Nantucket, Aspen, and Jackson Hole.

This combination of art, exploring, and love of outdoors developed into a passion for plein air painting. Capturing a moment and sharing them is a treasured experience.
