Witnessing the attacks on the twin towers in New York City from her apartment in Brooklyn, Lynn Pauley’s series of paintings from 9/11 chronicled what was happening in the city at the time. Producing around 28 paintings and a story about the events, Pauley’s work was presented to Print magazine, where they published the entire piece. Her works include images of the towers from her apartment, police officers in the streets, small memorials to those who died, as well as missing persons posters, among others.
