Lynn Mehta

Lynn Mehta is a contemporary impressionist painter who receives her inspiration from the landscape. Born and raised in La Jolla, California, she now lives in Alexandria, Virginia. Truly an artist since childhood, she took art studio classes every year in high school, picking up pen and ink and pencils every chance she had. Lynn obtained her B.A. in Art from San Diego State University and has taken classes and workshops through The Art League in Alexandria, Capitol Hill Art League in Washington, DC, Easton Studio and School, and Yellow Barn Studio in Maryland. Growing up she was influenced by the art of her mother who painted the Southern California landscape when Lynn was a young child. Lynn's favorite influences include Vincent VanGogh, William Wendt, Edgar Payne, Mary Cassatt, and Tom Thompson.

Her membership includes Mid-Atlantic Plein Air Painters Association, Women Painters of the Southeast, Oil Painters of America, California Art Club, American Impressionist Society, and Salmagundi Club. Lynn is active with multiple art organizations in the Northern Virginia/Washington, DC metropolitan area and holds bin gallery membership at The Art League in Alexandria, VA.
