GARDEN ART – Lynn Karlin

Lynn Karlin, based in Belfast, has made an art out of garden photography. Her third book is being published -Gardens Maine Style, Act IIphpthumbphp.jpgand will be available in June from Down East Books (www.downeast.com). She has just won her eighth Garden Writers of America Silver Award of Achievement for her images featured in the May/June 2007 issue of Cottage Living magazine. During a recent conversation with Lynn at the gallery in Portland she told me she is running to keep up with her 2008 workload.

For 8 years Lynn and her husband lived next door to Helen and Scott Nearing in Harborside, Maine and their book, Maine – A Year of Country Life documented the four seasons on their farm and was published during that time. They grew organic flowers and vegetables for inns and restaurants in the area.
