Through it all, Art remains a true constant in Lynda's life journey!
She knew from an early age of 3yrs old that this is what she would be doing.
Her Father a pencil & pen artist and Grandmother charcoal artist (she is named after and never met) were artists and she believed strongly that the arts just couldn't die with them.
Being the 3rd generation in her family of artists, gave her the self confidence, to carry the gift they passed on to her when her father passed.
She believes they are watching over her and proud of all she is doing in their honour!
Being placed in just the right place at just the right time, has helped her growth and experience in the art world.
Lynda was able to work as a Gallery Manager and learned the business side of the art world while studying oils under Harold Cooper of Wesleyan University, Ohio. She also, pursued many instructional classes, in portraiture, en plein air painting and Art Business online over the last few years. The artist has built a strong portfolio, followers, collectors and supporters. Lynda continues to build her portfolio, while continuing to experiment with mediums & techniques.
Lynda comes from a family who had many artists at the kitchen table after dinner. Chatting & Drawing over the day’s work. You see they also, owned, bred, raised and raced standard bred race horse's. Lynda inevitably, moved south to Florida and became a Vet Tech. Her love of animals and art continued through her life, career & travels. All these skills aided her in her art studies! She was more in tune with the conformations of animals and this experience, gave her a very keen eye in nature with her wildlife studies. Lynda continues her travels & adventures with her husband Kevin, of 20+ yrs. now. While experiencing beautiful moments in nature depicting her representation and sharing her storytelling to you through her artwork.
She is currently painting a
series of memorable moments inspired by the bird migration in her local area in Southern, Ontario.
This series,
includes the re-entry of so many, remarkable species including Eagles, Swans,
Herons, Egrets, Owls & many more species that call Southern Ontario their
home or migratory home.
Being, centrally located between 2 Great Lakes, lots of bays and tons of water in between. It is an experience to be desired as part of the Carolinian Forests running through the Marsh Wetlands with all the glorious wildlife and flora that call it home. Exploring around Erieau, Rondeau and Point Pelee Parks armed with her cameras, binoculars and sketchpads. Off she goes to see what the day will bring. So many times, delighted with that which was unexpected and an amazing sight! All this is shared with you through her paintings, stories and videos. Birders come from all over the world to see these amazing creatures that visit this wonderful area. The Migratory birds, stop and call it home for refuge.
Exploring this area and enjoying the nature trails while sometimes finding a trail to venture on off the beaten path, leads to these exciting tales and is depicted through her artwork and studies. All of which Lynda does from her own pictures, studies and sketching while viewing the particular creature without being intrusive in anyway to them and their surroundings. You will find original paintings, Prints & some History of the Journey she has been on, through out this website and Lynda hopes it brings some light into your day.
Another, part of her journey is taking many trips to Algonquin Park and the surrounding areas of Haliburton in Northern, Ontario, where her ancestors originally settled in from Ireland, cleared their land and called it home. Many of her relatives and friends continue to live in the area and it calls her home. Painting many of the animals seen on these trips and she will continue to add to her Signature Algonquin Series as more are seen and enjoyed. Some of these paintings include Moose, Black Bear, Martins, Foxes, Red Squirrels and even a Tom Thomson Tribute series has been completed and sold out.

The largest of this series was painted vertically, on studio canvas to a very large scale of 48" x 60". I was working on a ladder for a great percentage of the time. His name is Majestic, a Bull Moose we saw in Algonquin Park. Another bull moose we saw, was painted this size horizontally and its name is Life is Good! Going from this larger size moving right down to a 6" x 6" out in the field sketching in the painting on a boat no less for a Mural unveiling Nationally.
Lynda has a few quotes and mantras she lives by and one of them is,
Life is good, when you believe in yourself, have a good support system in place, stay steadfast through all those trials and tribulations and trust that you are here for a reason! You really, really are! Keep believing, it's true!
