Location: Marjorie Van Wickle Lyon Gallery

Meet celebrated artist Linda Megathlin at the opening reception of Rising Tides, her first exhibition in Blithewold’s Marjorie Van Wickle Lyon Gallery.

Megathlin created her photo-based artworks to raise people’s awareness of what could come to be and to spur dialogue as we begin to envision a future in a vastly different littoral zone. Sweet treats and bubbly beverages will be served.

The reception is open to the public. Admission to the house and grounds can be purchased in The Shop.


Artist Bio

Linda Megathlin is an interdisciplinary artist who works primarily with photography and mixed media transfer prints with a focus on the transformation of iconic natural elements. Upon graduation from Smith College, she began her photographic life as a newspaper reporter and continued to photograph through a long career that included journalism, commercial and fine art photography, and corporate communications.

In 2003, she joined with seven other artists to establish IMAGO, as a cooperative art gallery in Warren. She’s been a board member since its inception and today serves as president of Imago Foundation for the Arts. Born in Boston, MA, she has lived in Rhode Island since 1980 and works today as a full-time artist from her studio in a converted mill located a few blocks from her home in Warren.
