Lynda was able to work as a Gallery Manager and learn 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. 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 compositions of animals and this experience, gave her a very keen eye in nature. Lynda continues her travels & adventures with her husband Kevin, of 20 yrs. experiencing beautiful moments in nature depicting her representation and sharing her storytelling to you through her artwork.
Currently painting a series of memorable moments inspired by the bird migration in our local area here 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.
We are 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 our cameras, binoculars and sketchpads. Off we go to see what the day will bring. So many times, we are delighted with that which was unexpected and an amazing sight! This I share with you in 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.
We explore this area ourselves enjoying the nature trails and sometimes finding our own trail to venture on. Each of these paintings I do, are from my 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 we have been on, through out our website and I hope it brings some light into your day. Another, part of our journey is taking many trips to Algonquin Park and the surrounding areas of Haliburton in Northern, Ontario, where my ancestors originally settled in from Ireland, cleared their land and called it home. I still call it home and many relatives and friends continue to live in the area. I have painted many of the animals we see on these trips and will continue to add to my Algonquin Collection 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 done. Natural Landscapes, Seascapes, Wildlife, Portraiture and Commissions are joyfully painted.
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.
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!
