Lynn Carlin - Painting, Mixed Media

Arcata Artisan since 2023

A little bit about Lynn…

Born in Southern California, I moved to Arcata in 1988 and graduated from HSU with an art degree in 95.  I love living on the North Coast surrounded by water and it is a reoccurring theme in my work.   I am fascinated by the patterns that occur when light and shadow hit the surface.  To capture the essence of how nature feels is always a goal.

 As an intuitive painter, I strive to paint freely with no restraint.  I work fast and choose colors that feel right in the moment.  Knowing that every color choice and brushstroke changes the composition, I enjoy answering to my impulses. 

 The best part about painting for me is the freedom I feel.  When I’m having a good exchange with my work I am focused, free, the music is up, and I’m dancing!
