Artists Bio:

Terry Lynn’s paintings have been exhibited in national and local juried art exhibitions.

In addition, her work can be found in private collections across the country. Also she won honorable mention in Artist Magazine, December 2012 issue. She graduated from Phoenix Institute of Technology with a degree in production art and went on to study under Nina Conner.

She considers painting the same as breathing and better than chocolate. Locally Terry Lynn is displaying her artwork at Wild Child Art gallery. She also has been teaching at the Alliance for the Arts since 2004.

Artists Statement:

Painting to me is same as breathing. I live think see art and it follows me into my dreams. I work hard at my craft. I draw every day and when I’m not painting I’m taking photos for paintings and looking for the next one. There is a lot of water in my paintings and that’s because I grew up in the desert, now I live in Florida and when my husband and son are fishing the water is my muse. I love to paint and share that with others either through teaching art or painting demos.
