Lynch’s painting, “Birch Avenue,” features blooming dogwood flowers inspired by a tree that grew outside her bedroom window on Birch Avenue in Lewiston. The piece “beautifully captures the spirit of spring” in the Lewiston-Clarkston Valley, “evoking both the season’s renewal and the region’s natural beauty,” according to the Downtown Lewiston Artwalk Committee.

A first-year student at LC State, Lynch is pursuing an associate degree in liberal arts with an emphasis in art and graphic communications.

In addition to having her artwork featured on the Spring Downtown Artwalk poster, Lynch will also receive a $200 cash prize.

The 2026 Spring Downtown Artwalk, scheduled for May 1-2, will feature regional artists in pop-up galleries throughout the downtown Lewiston area.
