Christin Coy Landscapes



The Painters Place is really proud to host an exhibit of landscape art featuring Marin county artist Christin Coy. The exhibit runs from September 1st through September 30th. 

Rarely are there artists who can so completely transport the viewer to a moment in time as Marin county artist Christin Coy. Christin's use of color and knowledge of light, technique, composition and medium are testaments to her passion and ability to do such. One can almost smell the ocean air of Bolinas Lagoon or the fragrance of dried grasses on the Marin hillsides at dusk, when viewing two of her favorite sites for subject matter. A consummate artist, Christin embraces the natural world as if it were her own child, with unconditional love. It's this love that motivates her to create the work she does and for the causes that she does them for. With her work, she hopes to raise awareness for the protection and conservation of land and water. A charter member of The Baywood Artists, she participates in all of their exhibits and fundraisers, including benefits for organizations such as; MALT, Angel Island Association, Napa Valley Land Trust, Marin Open Space, Truckee Donner Land Trust and The Bucklew Foundation's MarinScapes exhibit at the Escalle Winery, which benefits mentally disabled adults. 

The gallery is located at 1139 Magnolia Avenue in Larkspur. Hours are Monday through Saturday from 10am until 5:30pm. Contact gallery director Krystal Allen at 414.461.0351 or krystal@thepaintersplace.com.
