Lynn the artist
I’ve adored bright, dancing colors for as long as I can remember. It was always a thrill when my parents would take me to art galleries and I could ponder how artists made what I saw. From that early age I knew that I wanted to do something in the arts.

Over many years, I tried photography and painting and performing. Eventually, performing predominated when I became a professional actress. After I had my kids, I studied the ancient art of storytelling, so I could write and perform on my own schedule. I will always love stories—who of us can resist them?
For the last several years, though, I’ve focused on making visual art. I love that my two loves, stories and visual art, can inform each other.
Lynn the storyteller
I love all things story, so that means I tell folktales and fairytales, myths, and personal narratives and human interest stories that come from my experiences, or from whatever other people and I find fascinating.

“Lynn does this magical thing. She utterly transforms herself into the characters she's telling about. She becomes a little girl – surrounded by grownups – learning to use chopsticks. She becomes those clunky grown-ups. She becomes a First Lady, or the President of the United States. She pulls off what a lot of us storytellers try to pull off; we stop seeing the teller. We see the little girl. We see the grownups. We see mirthful and wise Lynn herself, in all stages of life, bringing us along.”
