I am not an artist, but I am a lover of art…the stories told, the techniques and materials used, the artists’ talents. Recently I saw some pieces that struck a chord. Vibrant colors, whimsical details, unique techniques. The captivating art of Lynn Shield.
Lynn’s contemporary Western paintings showcase the beauty of wildlife, horses and other domestic critters, cowgirls and cowboys, and the Montana lifestyle. Art captured her fancy at an early age, and Lynn used her creative energy in web design and marketing before she opted to become a full-time artist. Lynn honors the beauty of Montana using traditional watercolors and alcohol ink. She incorporates Brusho watercolor crystals to create rich vibrant hues. Each of her paintings have intricate detail woven throughout.
When I first saw Lynn’s art, I was as my mother would say, “gobsmacked”. I reached out to her, told her about our gallery in Cut Bank, and invited her to hang a show for the months of May and June. Her stunning collection of originals is now on display in The Gallery. It’s a must-see.
Thank you, Lynn for allowing us to showcase your talent. lynnshield.com
