Irene Lynch

Founder and Painter

Irene Lynch’s artwork reflects her lifetime spent soaking in the unmatched beauty and inspiration of her home, Cape Cod. Irene loosely paints with watercolor and details with pen, taking a unique illustrative approach to Cape Cod landscapes. She explores color, texture, and embraces the freedom in using watercolor as her medium. Her paintings welcome viewers into familiar scenes to relive their favorite memories. Irene paints from her heart to reach yours. Irene now offers an array of artwork, ranging from fine oil paintings (including a 6 foot wooden whale as part of the annual Art in the Park event), to her beloved coloring book series which are derived from her original watercolor paintings.
