Lynn Sanders

Dark Study

2023

Lynn Sanders is an artist excited by beauty: architecture, foliage, landscapes, seascapes, interiors. She finds palettes and shapes in her environment and propels them into her work, believing in the power of art to stimulate a person’s environment and state of mind. Intuitive in nature, Lynn’s painting process is chaotic, and its speed and intensity are often reflective of her current emotions. She begins her process using a tool that she designed to apply custom colors mixed with various mediums to the canvas. Working primarily in acrylics and ink, she achieves chemical reactions that enhance the composition. Her tool allows her to apply the paint at a pace that reflects her impatient nature. This process achieves deep tones layered with transparent shapes. Her long relationship with this application technique has allowed her to develop an innate understanding of the precise amount of pressure and paint needed to achieve her signature aesthetic. With a focus on process over concept, Lynn’s pieces invite the viewer to ponder the technique and imagery. Her satisfaction comes from knowing that her pieces speak her own unique visual language. Lynn resides in Lafayette, Louisiana with her husband and son, as well as her beloved pets.
