We welcome Lyn Asselta to our Associate Artist programme. We believe that Lyn will be an asset to Unison Colour & we look forward to working with her.

Biography 

Lyn Asselta will readily admit that she has considered the landscape her muse since she was a young child.  Growing up on the rocky coast of Maine, where the weather changed almost by the minute, the effects of atmosphere on land were an everyday, mesmerising occurrence. Her memories are rich in details of the places she has experienced throughout her life and she has a deep reverence for places that exude a sense of strength and quiet.  Those qualities continue to appear time and time again in her paintings.  Her chosen medium of pastel allows her to extend her tactile sense of communicating with the natural world into the painting process at her easel.

Lyn’s landscape paintings have been exhibited throughout the United States and have been included in invitational exhibitions in France and China.  She has taught workshops in Canada, Curacao and across the USA, averaging 6-8 workshops per year.  Lyn has recently achieved Eminent Pastelist status with the International Association of Pastel Societies (IAPS).  She is a Signature member of the Pastel Society of America, a member of the Salmagundi Club, a Member of Excellence in the Southeastern Pastel Society, a member of the Eastern League of Professional Artists, and is the founder and past president of the First Coast Pastel Society based in northeast Florida. In 2009, Lyn was selected as an Artist in Residence at Acadia National Park in Maine.  Her work has been featured in several magazines including Pastel Journal, Pratique des Arts, and Plein Air Magazine.  In 2018, she published her first book, Seeing the Landscape, a compilation of her prose and paintings which is available through her website. 

Lyn’s work is represented by Cutter & Cutter Fine Art Galleries in Saint Augustine, Florida and Ponte Vedra, Florida.

Colour Chart Guidance

We believe the colours in our web based colour chart are a faithful representation of our pastel range. But with any colours portrayed on the internet, there’s a whole heap of variables which mean that what you see, may not be what we see. That said, there’s some things that can be done to mitigate some of the variance.

Mobile phone and tablet screens tend to be pretty good for colour, so they’re always worth using, when viewing our colour chart.

We hate to say it, but cheaper computer displays, including laptops, can be rather hit and miss, in both colour and contrast, so they might not reveal the depth of the colour, as well as the true tone.

If you’re really keen on getting your computer up to speed on colour representation, you can use a calibration device to reach your display's fullest potential.

With all that said, if you think we’re way off the mark with any of the colours then, by all means let us know, and we’ll give it another shot.
