The nature of art … bringing the outdoors in.

Hi. I’m Lynn.

I’m happy that you found me, the proverbial needle in a haystack; one artist in a sea of artists on the world wide web. If you love flowers & nature, we are kindred spirits.

Who am I? In a nutshell, I’m an artist inspired by nature; a peace loving soul on a creative journey. I paint and draw flowers, gardens and landscapes with a joyful vibe. My goal is to bring a sliver of nature, wild and whimsical, into your personal space.

Where am I? I live and work in Northern Maine, United States. My studio is situated close to my gardens and the landscapes that I paint, so inspiration is never far. You can find me in my studio most days. Online, I am here (which is kind of everywhere, philosophically). You can also find me on Facebook and Instagram.

I love bringing nature into your home to enjoy all year around, no matter the season.

Sweet Rose
$180.00

Roses symbolize love, royalty, beauty, sensuality, secrecy, and mysticism. They are also associated with achievement and perfection. I chose graphite for this work in order to enhance the beauty of the details, the inner workings of the flower’s center, the lines in each petal, the moodiness of light as it envelops the subject. This sensual beauty will infuse your home with an air of love and mystery.

A cozy gathering of pumpkins and gourds, autumnal, earthy, and grounded, this elegant graphite drawing captures the natural beauty of the harvest season. Harvest is a time to be thankful for the bounty and for those who grow, nurture and harvest our life sustenance.

Is There a Bird in There?
$180.00

Everytime I draw a birdhouse, I have a friend that asks, “Is there a bird in there?” This is a tribute to her. Birdhouses are a treasured part of my garden. They invite contemplation as I reflect on the life nature surrounds us with. They bravely withstands the landscape in all seasons.

Places to find my work…

Merchants on the Corner

394 Main Street, Presque Isle, Maine 04769

Mainely Merchants

342 Sweden Street, Caribou, Maine 04736

If you find yourself in downtown Presque Isle, Maine (my hometown), or Caribou you can find some of my work displayed in two quaint little Aroostook County shops. They are both fun, eclectic shops with hometown, artsy, crafty vibes. Both specializing in unique but different things. I’m honored to be invited to have my work in these spaces and to share my work with communities that I love.

You will find a sampling of all of my work including watercolors, pencil drawings, and even some of my craft work and beading. My new obsession with beading and charcuterie has found its way to both shops under the CharCUTErie by Birch Haven Art Studio brand. I feel like every charcuterie board you make deserves to shine with your personality and every board deserves some bling. I am working to take photos and listings and hope to have these items up on my website soon. Stay tuned. But if you can’t wait…pop into the shops to get a peek.

Behind the Scenes

Outside my studio & the gardens.

Watercolors drying in the studio.

A cozy living room with wooden walls and framed black-and-white and color photographs of flowers hanging on the walls. A window with colorful scarves hanging as curtains lets in natural light, revealing green foliage outside. There is a colorful patterned couch with a stuffed bear, a vase with dried flowers, and decorative bottles on the windowsill. A table with books and pottery is in front of the couch, and a black cabinet labeled "Taxerers" is on the side. Various decorative items, including framed artwork and bottles, are arranged throughout the room.
Colorful scarves and jewelry hanging near a window, with a view of trees outside.

Inside my studio. So beautiful, sometimes messy.

The things I do for fun.

A canvas with a partly painted sky scene in progress, featuring blue and white clouds, on a wooden table near a window with a view of green trees and grass outside. Art supplies like paint tubes, brushes, and a palette are nearby.
A small wooden house with horizontal pine boards, double-hung windows, set on a flatbed trailer, in a wooded area with leafless trees in the background.
