The
Artist
Painting
is a passion, and I choose subjects that have meaning to me. Whether it
is the rolling vistas of Southern Indiana and Kentucky, the flowers I
just picked from my garden, or a member of my family, I find inspiration
in the connection I can feel with a painting. Ask me which is my favorite
painting, and I will usually reply with the last one I completed.
Born and raised in Indiana, I attended Purdue University in Lafayette
and worked at Purdue before moving to Louisville Kentucky, where I completed
my masters at University of Louisville. I enjoy perusing detailed maps
of Kentucky and Indiana, and I am often traveling the back roads looking
for a new place to paint.
I enjoy hiking, biking and the natural beauty of the landscape. Painting allows me to interpret the natural beauty of nature. I enjoy painting on location with the sun on my back and the wind in my hair. My patrons often tell me that my paintings remind them of a place in their childhood.
In
October of 2006 Lynn will be featured as one of 10 artists in the book,
"Painting Indiana, The Changing Face of Agriculture." These
books are available for sale and the colorful paintings make great coffee
table books. Some of the local and national shows of which I have had
the honor of participating include The Hoosier Salon 2006; Arts on Main
2006 in Shelbyville, Kentucky and The Water Tower Annual 2004.
I
was an art director in advertising for many years before picking up a
paint brush. Painting has been therapeutic to me in dealing with the loss
of my son to childhood cancer. I donate a portion of my proceeds from
the sale of each painting to Childhood Cancer Research. Over the past
few years, I have been lucky enough to study with Wolf Kahn in Vermont
and Skip Whitcomb in Colorado. I am a member of the Indiana Plein Air
Painters Association as well as the Oil Painters of America.
