Acrylic, Mixed Media Painting
Lynda Fownes' paintings reflect several different artists within. While she strives for the details of realism, she also embraces more abstract interpretations with no subjective reference. She tries to bring a fresh look at world around us—often to make the insignificant significant, or to choose subjects that might be described as “past prime” to emphasize the beauty of maturity.
As a lover of texture, Lynda often combines layers of printed-paper and uses acrylic glazes to accentuate patterns in nature. Found pieces of bark and similar “bits” provide a starting place for never ending exploration. Regardless of subject or process, Lynda’s aspiration is to look at unusual things with unusual eyes.
Hailing from three generations of North Vancouverites, Lynda is firmly rooted in the North Shore community. While teaching art in North Vancouver high schools, around raising a young family, she continued studying and earned a Masters of Art Education. As a new high school Art curriculum came to B.C., she became a consultant visiting many BC school districts.
Lynda has served on the board of the North Shore Artist’s Guild and is an Active member of the Canadian Federation of Artists.
