Meet the 2026 judge for our Professional Artist category: Lyn Asselta

Lyn has considered the landscape her muse since she was a child. Growing up on the coast of Maine, where weather often changed by the minute, the effects of atmosphere on land and water were mesmerizing. That fascination with atmosphere has held her attention for decades while living along the Atlantic Ocean and intracoastal waterway in northeast Florida, in the Smoky mountains of western North Carolina, and more recently, along the coast of Maine once again.

She’s spent a lifetime reveling in the rich details of the natural world and she draws from her love of nature when creating her paintings. Her chosen medium of pastel allows her to extend her tactile sense of communicating with the world into the painting process at her easel.

“How can I explain to you what it feels like to stand in a forest and imagine that silence is a living thing, breathing between the leaves and the sunlight?

How can I explain the way sea foam skitters and catches amongst slippery, wet rocks at the ocean’s edge during a winter storm? Words aren’t always adequate, so I feel compelled to paint those feelings.

The challenge of painting what I feel is what continues to interest me most.” — Lyn Asselta
