Lynn Sondag is an artist living in San Francisco since 1995. Sondag uses landscape painting to explore the ways we perceive and assign aesthetic value to the natural environment. For over twenty years she has recorded the landscapes and neighborhoods in various places she's lived both in the U.S. and abroad. Each exploration traces the growth of a personal relationship to a place, from first impressions to more intimate notions of weather patterns, vegetation, local traditions and histories. Sondag began working with themes of landscape painting and environmental aesthetics during her first international artist residency in Dresden, Germany, shortly after the country’s reunification. Since then, she's lived in India, Nepal, Italy, and Denmark, to develop series of paintings under this theme. She is currently working from Bay Area coastal landscapes that explore the variety of “new perspectives” occurring in daily walks, when a familiar place is transformed by fog, light, and wind of tones.
