Local watercolor artist Lynn Müster, who has taken classes at the Sewell Mill Library and Cultural Center in East Cobb, is one of three individuals whose work is being newly featured in the Cobb Library Shop Collection.
The collection is an 18-product line of the work of local artists voted on by the community. What’s being called the Summer ’26 People’s Collection is the ninth addition to the Cobb Library Shop, which sells merchandise and artwork to raise funds for the Cobb County Public Library System.
According to a library system release, Müster’s watercolor is entitled “Summer in Georgia” (shown above), and was selected four years after she began taking watercolor classes at Sewell Mill.
“Inspired by Southern botanicals and organic elements, her work blends soft watercolor techniques with modern composition,” reads the the Summer ’26 Collection’s description of Müster’s work.
“To honor their creative contributions, each winning artist will receive a curated prize package featuring a piece of their choice from the newly debuted line, paired with an exclusive library swag bag,” the Cobb Library release said.
“To commemorate the historic collaboration, the library will host an intimate celebratory reception, uniting the artists with the Community and User Engagement Team and members of the Cobb Library Foundation to present the gifts and honor the intersection of local art and public service.”
Slone Williams, retail operations and creative director for the Cobb Library Shop, said the idea for the design shop came from the community “and a desire to elevate the voices of the library’s patrons.
“The heart of this project lies in creating a collection that mirrors the identity of the community we serve, giving them the agency to shape the very fabric of our shop.”
The Cobb Library Shop produces curated merchandise collections that celebrate literacy, local history and Georgia culture.
