Her photographs in "Day by
Day" come from a larger series that stems from an interest
in the ways in which people create meaning in their lives through
pattern and routine in the home. In
her new work, Lynda is exploring the idea of natural vs. created
family and the use of genetic engineering in reproduction. Contact

The
two pieces in this exhibit, "Happy Birthday" and "Mrs.
Muenster" have a lot in common though they are in different
mediums. They both have aspects taken from everyday life yet
they also have some inventive qualities about them, moreso in
the painting "Mrs. Muenster," where things seem to
be intermingling with one another. There are no specific meanings
with which I define my work. We all interpret things in our
own way and I feel that it is important for me to express my
own thoughts, feelings and observations in my work. I like to
have fun with my art and I feel it shows my sense of humor while
at the same time one gets a hint of a darker side.

My
representation of the figure has been informed by studio life
drawing and by a knowledge of anatomy and psychology gained
through careers in surgical and psychological fields. I want
the viewer to see what I have seen, to think about the person
and their situation rather than let pure representational poses
close down possibilities. To this end, the majority of my portraits
are not frontal. Gestures, body language.... a moment in time
are meant to remind the viewer of some of the subtleties in
life.
Placing the image in a space defined by color but void of background
objects presses the viewer to focus on the person or his/her situation.
THE NEW SERIES: WOMENS' BEST FRIENDS
The contemporary combats played out between men in athletic competition
previously lent themselves to my goal of using art to remark publicly
on the some of the complexities of life and our culture.
The new body of work, "Women's Best Friends," concerns
itself with the relationships between women and their often beloved
dogs.
Rendered in the same palette as my earlier work, once again the
viewer is invited to reflect on the person and her situation through
the immediacy of the images. The subtlety of human nature, psychological
ambiguity, and a sense of timelessness continue as the engines fueling
this series.
