HILLSDALE—The Hillsdale Free Public Library (HFPL), at 509 Hillsdale Ave., is pleased to exhibit the oil paintings of Lynn Massey. The collection is available to all library visitors through Oct. 31.
Massey, a Woodcliff Lake resident, began painting with oils as a young girl when she took art classes in the River Vale studio of muralist Phillip Stein. She began painting in a more serious way in 2016, describing her style as “impressionistic realism.” She uses a limited prismatic palette to create vibrantly colored landscape, still life, and floral paintings.
Speaking about her art, Massey says, “I love the brilliant colors and buttery texture of oil paint and strive in my work to capture the beauty inherent in nature and in the common objects of everyday life.”
Massey is a member of Oil Painters of America, the Ridgewood Art Institute, and Community Arts Association. She has a website to showcase her work (lynnmasseyfineart.com) and an Etsy shop (lynnmasseyfineart).
Dave Franz, HFPL’s library director, says, “We are delighted that Lynn, who has showcased her work at the library in the past to glowing reviews by our patrons, is exhibiting with us again. I invite all in the community to visit the library to explore her paintings in our Meeting Room gallery through the end of the month.”
