Art inspired by the new Lynn bike path

The Lynn Bike Project is very close to my heart. I live right by it and have watched the evolution from old railroad tracks to gravel to a beautiful, paved path lined by daisies. It has brought our community together with walkers, joggers, runners, bikers, skateboarders, strollers and dog walkers.

The project follows the city's goal to reinvigorate the community and to transform Lynn through the Arts. This art exhibit and outdoor installation will promote the new bike path showing how it is scenic, brings people together and improves the quality of life in the city of Lynn. I hope this project will remind people how transformative public places can be.

Art Exhibit at Galleries At LynnArts (GALA), Aug. 29th - Sept. 5th, 2023

The recently revitalized Northern Strand Community Trail and updated Lynn Community Path combine to provide an excellent resource for commuters and recreational users alike through almost ten miles of trail! Thousands of residents have had a new way to connect with each other and the natural beauty of the area along the new segment in Lynn. It has been a source of inspiration for me during the pandemic as well as during a difficult personal health crisis. My exhibit at GALA, in the Community Gallery, will give people an opportunity to see my original paintings. The subjects of the art pieces will vary from landscapes, wildlife and portraiture to capture a diverve set of moments.

Outdoor Installation, Sept. 23rd - Oct. 15th, 2023

This free installation will consist of 18 paintings printed and placed along the bike path in Lynn. It will start where the trail crosses Saugus/Lynn border at Marsh View Park (Boston St.). The trail passes through the marsh with scenic views of the water on both sides. Leaving the marsh, it passes through Barry Park (606 Boston St). Between Cottage and Spencer Streets, the bike path doubles as a neighborhood park, with new playground equipment and raised community garden beds. After passing Market Basket, the outdoor exhibit will end at the Bennett Street bridge.
