BIOGRAPHY

LYNNsandersheadshot.jpg

Emotion is the thread that runs through every painting—each piece a mirror to the inner world we all inhabit. These works act as visual diaries of feeling, capturing the fleeting, layered states of mind that shape our days. Rather than telling a traditional story or drawing from cultural narratives, they speak in the language of raw emotion—a language that belongs to everyone.

The process behind the work is immediate and instinctual, reflecting the speed and unpredictability of emotional experience. Movement, pressure, rhythm—these become the tools of expression. The canvas becomes a space where emotion takes form, where thought gives way to impulse, and where every mark is a reflection of something felt deeply.

 

The materials themselves are collaborators. Chemical reactions between mediums create unexpected textures and effects—echoing the unpredictability of life itself. Delicate, translucent layers float above saturated color, like soft coverings over something burning just beneath the surface.

These layers invite the viewer to recognize the tension between vulnerability and intensity that we all carry.

 

Over time, a balance emerges—not of perfection, but of presence. Each piece holds space for both chaos and control, for surrender and structure. These emotional landscapes aren’t just personal; they are deeply human. They invite anyone who views them to feel something honest, to connect with the unseen layers within themselves, and to see their own stories reflected in color, movement, and form.

 

 

"The colors really dictate the painting.
I have a concept of color in my mind,
and when I start working with the painting
and the color ...
they drive the direction
of where the painting is going.
I do a lot with layering"

- Lynn Sanders
