Hands have always fascinated me...

Old hands, careworn and beautiful have captured my imagination. Years of smoothing a child's unruly hair, wiping away tears, applauding a grandchild's achievement.
Young hands still soft and unblemished, the child still in a crib, hands so small they can barely grasp a parent's finger.
Watch this site for some new paintings that reflect my admiration for 'hands' big and small, smooth and wrinkled. All are beautiful in my eyes.

...and see below for gallery showings coming up. I'm excited by these new opportunities to

share my art with you,

Lynn

We read the phrase “back to nature” when really, we belong to nature. Growing up on a farm in the present city of Burlington, I heard birds singing, saw crops growing, all in my Grandma’s garden. Working in my studio with window views on my own garden, I attempt to eliminate the barriers between human-kind and nature. We are all one on this Earth.

Nature offers art in the urban setting. Often during the drive to my day job, an idea as simple as a wrought-iron fence will present itself. A line of birds on a wire or a robin strutting on fresh green grass will soon join in the mix. The harmony between the two will be realized as I begin to compose the scene in my mind’s eye.


My early work was in oils and charcoal. For ten years I took commissions painting in clients’
homes, decorating their walls with murals and quotations. During that time, I also successfully ran instructional classes in the Folk Art style. But my true love of realism called to me and now I work exclusively in acrylic on canvas and wood.


I've placed some of my work for viewing here and my latest gallery show information as well.
