First Friday May 3rd  —  Join us for from 5 PM -8 PM to celebrate our new show and our Artists of the Month, Lynne Armstrong and Carol Janda.

Lynne Armstrong  —  “Inspired by the late paintings of Pierre Bonnard of interior scenes which defy logic and hold our attention purely for the beauty of their color and rhythm of shape, my Intimate Interiors Series may initiate more questions than answers. I have included figures, flowers, fruits, animals and birds in arrangements which seem to tell a story, and yet the narrative remains obscure. The poses of the figures, the presence of objects and of creatures seem random and capricious. I seem to be telling a story, but what is the story. You are asked to look, and look again and let the color and shape and rhythm of the painting justify itself. The subject of the picture is the picture itself.

I completed a Masters Degree in Fine Arts in Painting at Cornell University and a Masters in Art History at Stanford. For one year I was a student at the Academia di Belle Arte in Florence , Italy , before completing my comprehensive examinations for a Ph.D. in Art History at Stanford. I have taught art in college, high school and elementary school.

I work in the mediums of watercolor, acrylic and clay. My pieces are in many private collections in the US , Canada , Asia and Europe . My art is currently represented by the Blue Whole Gallery in Sequim , Washington .”
