About the Artist
Lynn Smith
Growing up in northern California, Lynn Smith was exposed to a first-generation Portuguese influence amongst grandparents, aunts and cousins. Large family dinners, summer campouts in Yosemite… a colorful, lively beginning!
Inspired by the beauty of those early days, Lynn used sketching and drawing as a pastime, which led to a creative path. A long-time Arizona resident, she pursued a career in advertising; while continuing to develop her artistic skills of drawing and painting.
Retired now, Lynn’s focus is expressions of life through painting. Her work is diverse and ranges from realistic to abstract studies. In recent years, her mentor and instructor, Eddie Lopez, is an accomplished artist of note in Arizona.
Exploring the world of abstract, Lynn attends Studio 6020 to study with, Kathy Taylor, an award-winning fine artist who shares her talents with like-minded seekers.
