Lynne Alexander

Posted in: Abstract, Animals, Artists & Illustrators, Graphic, Mixed Media, Modern, Nature, Quirky by Anna on March 4, 2010 | No Comments

As an artist, Lynne is a student of shape and color. Her work is boldly engaging. In her abstracts, Lynne combines patterns and form to create a more dramatic image. She allows her paintings to evolve by working with layers and adding texture with dimensional paint. In this way she is able to bring a fresh perspective and sense of adventure to her work. Lynne Alexander has been involved in the arts for the past 14 years as a successful product designer for her company, Alexander Artworks. In recent years she has devoted her creative energy to painting and is a self taught, accomplished artist. Lynne’s parents were both rocket scientists. They raised her in a home without a television, in an environment that encouraged creativity.
