ABOUT the artist

2024 tybee.jpg

I took my first painting lesson in high school and majored in art in college. What followed was a 40-year hiatus from art while I pursued a career first in book publishing and then as a business broker. It wasn't until 2019 and the pandemic when I was able to work at home that I was able--for the first time to dedicate myself to paintin. It is for that reason that I consider myself self-taught.

     I paint in oil and am almost exclusively devoted to landscapes, sites and scenes in the Savannah area. You might say my art is "close to home" and "up close."  Even after 25 years in Savannah, I am still inspired by the beauty of the local landscape and the interesting and historic sites around Savannah. I love the process of painting and the playfulness of working in oil, which gives me the freedom to play with color and texture to represent the ever-changing world around us.

     My work can be seen here on my Gallery pages, in the LAA / SoundView Gallery at the Landings Palmetto Club on Skidaway Island and at local art fairs, shows and events. You can follow me on Facebook and Instagram @LFitzgeraldArt.
