Lynda Lehmann

Lynda Lehmann has worked as a commercial artist/graphic designer. Her art-related interests are photography, painting, digital art, and fiction writing. She has written several YA sci fi novels and short stories with earth stewardship and feminist themes. Lynda's photography leans towards abstraction, while her paintings tend to be highly stylized or abstract.
"I am drawn to the ambiguous and open-ended subject, more than to the recognizable and time-bound. Realism involves a dedication and obedience to existing detail; abstraction, a willingness to nurture new ways of seeing. One involves the safety of known parameters, taking refuge in the familiar, while the other takes risks. To me, it's more fun to see "what isn't" than to see "what is." I can see "what is," every day of my life, and the camera captures it very well. The fun of abstract and non-objective painting is that it engages imagination as well as arresting perception.
