My art is a personal diary of color, form and texture that gives insight to the world as I see and reflect it. I have been gifted with the ability to translate energy and feeling into art that radiates back to the viewer. My work is guided by intuition and emotion, so the color and content of each piece feels as unique as the day on which it was created.

The immediacy, freshness and complexity of abstract acrylic and watercolor has always spoken to me. I paint in an Abstract Expressionist style. For me this means nothing but the color palette is planned beforehand, and paintings develop in a spontaneous and physical way. I strive for my work to radiate energy that draws viewers in. One collector says, “I don’t know where Lynette’s art is taking me, but I love going along for the visual ride.”

In my acrylic work I start by introducing texture to the canvas with modeling paste and gesso being brushed, dripped, pasted and thrown onto the surface. I read and interpret the developing canvas before bringing in appropriate swaths of color and scrubbing the pigments to reveal rich textures. This process of adding and removing continues as more color, shape and lines emerge, creating multiple layers and depth. My watercolor is an evolution of my acrylic style. There is a fresh immediacy in this work due to the quick drying nature of watercolor.

My watercolors have intense color with bold marks that reside on the surface of bright white papers. They are UV varnished to hang with or without glass. I have had the good fortune to travel extensively across the globe, giving me the opportunity of capturing photographic vignettes and feeding my imagination for future expressions on canvas.

My work is informed by my design background yet inspired by the beauty I have seen in my travels, the love expressed in my family, and the world from all vantage points.
