Shirley Lynn is a Santa Fe-based artist who paints landscapes and wildlife in acrylics and watercolors. Originally an illustrator and graphic artist in London, her move to New Mexico in 1987 inspired her focus on landscape painting, capturing the region’s dramatic skies and vistas.
This item is originally from the collection of liquor icon Michel Roux. One of Mr. Roux’s signature spirits at Crillon was absinthe, the anise-flavored spirit known for its popularity among 19th-century artists like van Gogh and Toulouse-Lautrec. It was banned by the United States in 1912 amid concerns that wormwood, one if its ingredients, which contained thujone, caused hallucinations. In 2000 Mr. Roux introduced a legal absinthe, Absente, which used a sister botanical, Southern wormwood, with only trace amounts of thujone.
