Lorraine Skelskey-Chapin paints the light on the dunes and the sparkle on the ocean, outdoors, in front of the thing itself.
She is an award-winning fine artist and instructor in Southbury, Connecticut. Her work is on exhibit at The Barn Gallery in New Fairfield, at the Lyme Art Association, where she is an Associate Artist, in her own studio, and at local juried shows. In 2025 she took an Award of Merit at the association’s Paint the Town, a one day plein air competition.
“My mission is to reflect the spirituality and beauty found in nature, capturing the light on the dunes, the sparkle on the ocean, and colors that burst in the Spring.”
Her paintings are primarily impressionistic landscapes and gardens worked en plein air, in oil and acrylic. She also teaches weekly painting classes and takes commissions.
