Welcome!
Hello folks my name is Lynna
I am a painter, living and working in the magnificent territories of the Coast Salish Peoples, in a city that is other wise known as Vancouver British Columbia on the west coast of Canada.
I am grateful to live and work in this vibrant city, where nature is all around us and I am inspired by it daily.
I am an eclectic artists constantly experimenting and trying new ideas but in all my work I am exploring the intangible qualities of nature and our human experience of it.
I like to think that I am painting a world that exists between memory and dream.
View my collections below.
Collections
Here are collections showing examples of my different styles.
Original art can create a focal point for your room and enliven the space.
Have look and get in touch if you see something you like.
Lyrical Abstracts
Sometimes the work is purely gestural, intuitive and expressionistic. It focuses thematically on movement and emotions through colour, design, pattern, texture and line. I challenge myself to play with different ways to make abstract art as part of my creative practice. This works appeals to collectors who like bold statements that create a focal point for a room.
Imagined Landscapes
When I paint in an abstract style I am responding to the moment and inquiring into the here and now. Feelings are stirred, memories evoked imagination comes out to play. In my landscapes it’s not so much that I am painting nature but more that I am painting my experience of it. Sometimes I am painting inner landscapes because often our inner lives are reflected in the art. Sometimes I seek to capture the simplicity and sometimes the complexity of life in a painting. These landscapes are both serene and energizing, and sometimes dark and desolate but always revealing a ray of light. The dark paintings I hope allow us to see through the darkness to the light in our lives.
