Art Work by Lynda
Since the beginning of my nursing practice, I have always used art as a reflective process to help make sense of the experiences I encountered as a nurse. In fact, I attribute the process of art as the only reason I could continue practice nursing. Being a highly sensitive, artistic, creative, person, I found some of my nursing experiences, mainly bearing witness, difficult to unravel.
When called to witness suffering, the meditative act of painting became my vehicle to transcend the sorrow and arrive at another plane of understanding. I started teaching myself how to paint by using color as my guide. Over the years l have taken several workshops and learned how to see. I started with realism and dry brush work.
I now have stepped into knife work abstracting portraits and landscapes using vibrant colors. I absolutely love the freedom of this process. It is aligned with my passion for the human connection and what that entails in life using art. I focus on color and light and translate what I see into fun and funky portraits using vibrant colors revealing soul.
I have organized my gallery according to series to make sense of time and art style.
