Lani Browning

“I enjoy observing the trees and flowers, the birds, the water…listening to their stories, and painting what they say to me”.

Lani Browning, an award winning plein air oil painter for over twenty five years, is known for her distinctive skill with colors, and the quiet elegance and soft tonalism of her paintings. Her travels around the country and abroad, and her love of the land have contributed to her focus on the landscape. Her years of experience show in her confident and mature brushwork. 

A juried Signature member of Oil Painters of America, Women Artists of the West, and the historic 111 year old Washington Society of Landscape Painters (where Lani serves as their archivist), a past juried artist of Plein Air Easton and other events, Lani’s work was also published in Gary Pendleton’s book “100 Plein Air Painters of the Mid -Atlantic”.

In 2005, Lani was among ten plein air artists invited to paint at the Forbes family Chateau de Balleroy in Normandie France, with an exhibition later at The Forbes Gallery in New York City. 

Over the years, Lani has partnered with The Nature Conservancy and the Chesapeake Bay Foundation on special exhibitions with the Washington Society of Landscape Painters that highlights selected sanctuaries. 

While still enjoying the landscape, Lani is currently exploring a new vision of expressing herself by focusing on flowers and still life. 

She resides on Maryland’s Eastern Shore.
