Abby McClure is an oil painter from West Chester, PA. Upon graduation from Westtown School in 1988, instead of traditional art college, she immersed herself within the art community of Chadds Ford, PA, the home of the Brandywine painting tradition. A friendship with local painter and Wyeth model Jimmy Lynch is what inspired Abby to pursue art as a career. Plein air painting in the surrounding fields with Lynch led to visits and artistic guidance at Andrew Wyeth's studio and home. The Brandywine River Museum exhibited Abby's work in 1989 after she collaborated with Lynch on a series of pen and ink drawings. In 2005 Abby was awarded a scholarship through the Natalie A. W. Leaf Charitable Trust to study classical realist painting. Abby has shown her work extensively throughout and beyond the greater Brandywine, PA region. Abby particularly enjoys playing the principal role in her art business, client relations, sales, and marketing. To date she has sold over 900 paintings to national collectors with the majority of sales through her own gallery/studio, social media, and website. Abby is known for her serene twilight and nocturne landscapes and more recently her plein air work. She paints in oil on Belgian linen and birch panels.
