About Lynn

You  can more fully appreciate Lynn and her artworks when you know she was  raised in the cotton belt of New Mexico by a single mother of five who  worked as a waitress.  From an early age she collected throw-aways in  order to create her shoes, wearables, and art projects.  These  activities were her emotional lifeblood. College was not an option.

Lynn  became a full-time artist following a recession lay-off at Seattle  Mental Health where she worked as a recreational therapist.  Her  involvement with Friends of the Rag -the original wearable art  collective circa 1970 in the Seattle area -led her first to ‘soft  sculpture', then to hard sculpture using cement, wood, fiber, welded  steel and her original love: household items.  Her success is the result  of a lifetime art-making preoccupation and she simply cannot live  without using her hands to make things.  She has earned her living as an  artist through commission work, gallery sales and grants.

Materials selection has been secondary and incidental to her ideas which usually involve social commentary with humor. Seeing her work will make you smile.
