Lynn Shaler

Lynn Shaler (1955-present) is an American artist known for her color aquatint etchings. Many of her works feature locations in the city of Paris. Early subjects often included objects such as doorknobs, envelopes, theater exits, a pair of shoes. Later and more recent subjects often include architectural details or interior views opening onto an exterior scene. Many of her works also feature a dog, a cat, umbrella(s) and/or a lady in a red/pink coat. The majority of her works are made with multiple plates and many are, at least in part, hand-colored.
