Lynn Boggess

Lynn Boggess is a plein air landscape painter who grew up on a farm near Parkersburg, West Virginia. Life in such a rural setting allowed Boggess to roam creek beds and hillsides throughout his youth. He received a Bachelor of Arts in Art Education from Fairmont State College in 1978 and a Master of Fine Arts in Painting from Cranbrook Academy of Art in 1980. From 1990 to 2007, Boggess was a Professor of Art at Fairmont State College. He spent years exploring phenomenology and metaphysics in art. Between 1979 and 2000, the artist experimented with a variety of styles, from minimalist abstraction to postmodern layered imagery.

Then, in 2000, during a break from the studio, Boggess decided to go outside to create some nature studies. On a whim, he picked up a cement trowel—an impulse that led to an entire summer of artistic exercises. His goal was to complete 100 small paintings to see where this new process would take him. Once those 100 paintings were finished, what began as a diversion became an obsession.

Boggess now resides in West Virginia, where he continues to explore the natural world through his painting. His work is a testament to the immediacy of direct observation and a lifelong fascination with the expressive possibilities of the landscape.
