Demo-Lynn Chatman
I have always had an interest in art and creating – but only in the past several years, and the last year or two in particular, have I been driven to create. After my daughter's death, I channeled the emotional heartbreak and feelings of love, loss, grief and anger into my artwork. Art enabled me to begin the painful process of healing by pouring it all out on canvas instead of bottling it up inside. I honor and celebrate her life through my art. I also hope to raise awareness of suicide and mental illness through my artwork.
For many years I painted in oils, pastels and gouache. I still paint in oil but am currently enamored with acrylics. The versatility of acrylics inspires me to explore its many techniques and avenues of expression. I'm always thinking about my next project. Please see additional artwork at www.lynnchatman.com.


                        Join us at noon for food and fellowship before the meeting and demo!
