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 was featured as one of 10 artists in the book, "Painting Indiana, The Changing Face of Agriculture." Her painting graces the cover. These books are available for sale through Indiana University Press. Her work has been honored in local and national shows, including The Hoosier Salon, Arts on Main in Shelbyville, Kentucky and PaintAmerica.
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.
