West Tisbury library is featuring the work of Lynn Hoeft, David Welch, and Tachina Rudman-Young. On The Edge of Light brings together two painters and a photographer whose work explores the power of light, color, and atmosphere through three distinct artistic practices: expressive watercolor, vibrant abstract painting, and evocative pinhole photography. Each artist creates work inspired by nature’s ever-changing light—whether at sunrise, sunset, or beneath dramatic storm-filled skies.
Meet the Artists reception and artist talk: Saturday, July 11, 11:30 am to 2 pm, West Tisbury Library Community Room Light refreshments will be served.
About the Artists:
Master watercolorist Lynn Hoeft captivates viewers with her newly liberated, expressive approach to watercolor. Her luminous paintings flow effortlessly across the paper, capturing the movement and radiance of light as it dances across the landscape. Rich with spontaneity and emotion, her work evokes the fleeting beauty of nature’s changing skies.Lynn Hoeft: https://oldsculpingallery.org/lynn-hoeft.
Vineyard-based photographer David Welch creates ethereal images using pinhole camera techniques and extended exposure times. By bending light and stretching time, he transforms familiar landscapes into dreamlike visions that exist somewhere between memory and reality. His photographs possess a contemplative, almost spiritual quality, inviting viewers to experience the natural world with renewed wonder and stillness.https://www.davidwelchphotography.com
San Francisco–based painter Tachina Rudman-Young creates large-scale abstract paintings that celebrate the energy of color and light. Inspired by the shifting relationships between sea, sky, and atmosphere, her vibrant compositions evoke those fleeting moments when the horizon dissolves into luminous color. Her paintings invite viewers into immersive fields of joy, movement, and possibility. Tachina Rudman-Young: https://www.rudmanfineart.com
