Lynn has taught many workshops in the mid-Atlantic region, Tuscany, Italy, and Southern France.

This experience has allowed Lynn to study, understand, and pass on the best of America’s art masterpieces. This understanding is clearly embedded in her art as well.

Northern Virginia artist Lynn Goldstein has been making art professionally for twenty-five years. First employed as a graphic designer and illustrator before following her passion for painting, Lynn’s work in pastel and other mixed-media has brought her national and international acclaim, particularly for her colorful expressive landscapes.

She has exhibited widely, winning awards, in nationally juried exhibitions and galleries, and her work is enjoyed in private and public collections throughout the United States and Europe. Notably, one of her paintings was selected for the permanent collection in the Jean Haffen Museum, Dinan, France, upon her completion of an artist residency in 2011. Additionally, Lynn was one of fifteen American artists selected to participate in the Caravan multi-cultural and international art project which took place at the National Cathedral in Washington, D.C. and the Cathedral of St. John the Divine in NYC in the fall of 2014. Most recently, her work was selected for exhibition at the Smithsonian S. Dillon Ripley Center in Washington, D.C. twice; first in 2015 and also in 2017.

A fine art graduate from West Virginia University, Lynn has studied with some of the finest contemporary artists in the United States. She has earned signature membership in the Maryland Pastel Society and membership in the Pastel Society of America. Her popular classes have brought her awards as an outstanding instructor from Fairfax County, VA. Very much the teacher, Lynn wrote a feature article published in Pastel Journal encouraging artists to look at their work from a different perspective.

Her work has been exhibited at the National Arts Club in New York City, Koehnline Museum of Art in Des Plaines, Ill, Eleven Pleasant Street Gallery in Kennebunk, ME, and at the Palette & Chisel Academy of Fine Arts in Chicago, IL, among other locations.
