The Craignair Gallery invites the public to the Opening Reception of an exhibition of fine art entitled “Life's Reflections through Nature and Watercolors” by local artist Linden O’Ryan on Wednesday, June 17, from 4 to 6 p.m.

O'Ryan, a self-taught watercolorist for 25 years, creates artworks of imaginary landscapes of the heart.

"She uses nature motifs as inspiration for her paintings which she bathes in color and nature walks of nourishment for her being," said a Craignair Gallery news release. "These works of art have offered support and connection to others. Her work ranges from magical and whimsical to reverent and inspirational and she works with gratitude for all that arrives."

O'Ryan grew up around the world then settled in Southwest Harbor for 31 years. Twelve years ago she moved to Thomaston where she lives, paints and gardens. 

“Life's Reflections through Nature and Watercolors” will be on exhibition from June 17 through July 20, 2026.

The Craignair Gallery, located at 5 Third Street in Spruce Head, is open daily.
