ABOUT LYNN

Artist Bio

I grew up in Phoenix Arizona and have lived in Oklahoma and Texas. I now reside in Payson Arizona with my husband and two dogs, where I work in my studio to create paintings, collages, assemblages and sculpture. I received a BFA in painting from Arizona State University and a MFA in Sculpture from Texas Tech University. I taught art in grades K-8 in public schools, as well as, at colleges in Texas, Louisiana, and Arizona for 30 years. The classes I  taught were;  painting, collage, drawing, design, art appreciation and art history.

 

I create multi media artwork, frequently from found objects. I have a large collection of beautiful imported papers and images from books and the internet from which I assemble collages. Pattern and color are of special interest to me. For assemblage and sculpture I have a collection of found objects of various materials. Scavenging materials is a part of the process in my work. From this collection of materials comes my artistic inspiration, I create surprising, unique and diverse images and sculptural objects. I strive to suggest the natural world and mysterious and mystical themes. I have fun with materials and use humor and whimsy in my work.
