Lindsay Nolting is a painter who works in landscape. Trained in Paris and New York in the 1960s, Nolting conveys the flux and tensions between sky, cloud, and land in her native Virginia in paintings which are at once particular and abstract, elegiac and exploratory.

Visit the Nolting studio, near Columbia Virginia. Take a walk in the woods or find a picnic spot while you’re here. Enjoy art in a child friendly, dog friendly environment.
“Like it or not, a contemporary landscape painter addresses contemporary unease.”

Now, as I soldier on through my seventies, standard tropes of landscape painting are ever more freighted and fraught.
What does a contemporary painter reckon with through landscape? My answer is Everything.
