Breakwater

10”x10”ACRYLIC DONATED BY LOCAL ARTIST, AYN BALDWIN RIEHLE “My paintings are inspired by the Vermont landscape and the Caribbean Sea. One series of work mainly comes from the visual pleasures of the underwater world of colorful corals and my adventures scuba diving and snorkeling. Walks near mossy, lush green woods with giant ferns growing beside a path, water reflecting the blue of the sky and small patterns of myriad colors inspired the series of fern paintings. I have been involved in the arts since 1985 as a professional artist, arts activist and arts administrator, exhibiting widely in Vermont, for the past 22 years and more recently in the Caribbean. Also, I was formerly a director of the Shelburne Craft School, education director of Frog Hollow, and president of the Vermont Women’s Caucus for Art. “
