Watercolor Paintings by Lena Thynell

Foxdale Village welcomes Lena Thynell to the second floor art gallery. The show and reception are free and open to the public. 

Lena Thynell lives with her husband near State College, PA. She received her watercolor training at the Gerlesborg Art School in Sweden, studying through weeklong courses over several years. The school is located north of Gothenburg along Sweden’s stunning west coast.

Lena is an art instructor at the Art Alliance of Central Pennsylvania. After a long and distinguished career in Sweden as a Registered Nurse, Certified Nurse Midwife, and Department Head, she has embraced watercolor painting as an important and fulfilling part of her life. She especially enjoys painting en plein air, which brings her both joy and fresh inspiration.

“It’s a challenge to paint on location and that’s what I like,” Lena says. Her work has been featured in several juried art exhibitions, as well as solo shows, throughout Sweden.

Visiting hours are from 8:00am – 5:00pm weekdays and from noon until 4:00pm on weekends, January 9 – March 11, 2026. The opening reception will be held on Sunday, January 11 from 3:30 – 5:00 pm.
