Linn Stilwell

Linn spent her early years in New Jersey and Louisiana. College years were spent in Oklahoma and California. She pursued a career with Converse/Nike in footwear global supply chain planning. Linn is a clinical aromatherapy and herbal medicine practitioner, teaching for over 17 years at Misty Meadows Herbal Center, Lee, NH.

Nature is where Linn feels most engaged, ready to capture beautiful light filtering through the trees, slanting over water and illuminating landscapes and animals. She brings these beautiful scenes to life in watercolor paintings. Inspired to follow the naturalist’s path of artistic expression she brings behaviors and environments to bear on paintings of creatures of feathers and fur.

Linn enjoys traveling and taking photographs that inform and influence her paintings. You will often find her behind the camera with the tripod set up in a swamp at a wildlife refuge or national park. She served as the 2017-18 President of Knoxville Watercolor Society, 2019-2021 President of the Tennessee Watercolor Society. She is also a member of the Northeast Watercolor Society, the New England Watercolor Society and the New Hamsphire Art Association. Her work has been displayed at the Knoxville Museum of Art, the Customs House Museum, the Athens (TN) Art Center, the Rose Center and the Art Market Gallery in Knoxville as well as the NHAA Joseph Lincoln Levy Portsmouth Gallery.
