Raised in Michigan, Lynn has spent much of her leisure time outdoors; camping, biking, hiking and kayaking. These activities instilled a lifelong passion for nature within her. Lynn earned degrees from Michigan State University and Western Michigan University. She has participated in numerous art shows and has been represented in galleries as far as Florida and Hawaii.

STATEMENT

What can any artist do but reveal what they see? Inner vision reflects emotion, intellect, color and spatial relations. I reveal my personal vision of the world through my painting. While we all may see the same landscape, the same color and experience the same climate conditions, I work to expose a specific personal vision for viewers to consider and enjoy.

I juxtapose energy with bright, clean color and purposeful brush strokes. My subject, the landscape, brings the calm of quiet waters and pastoral stillness to the viewer. When I paint in plein air, I am thinking of the small works of Vermeer, the quick and deliberate brushstrokes of Van Gogh and the dappled sunlight of Renoir. I explore my own reactions and interpretations to the color and subject.

My work is produced with intuition. My intent is to convey mindful balance and harmony. I revel in a peaceful place of contentment, as the busy world can be chaotic and difficult to navigate.
