Exploring the Mind and Creativity

http://lynnburlingham.com/blog/

Lynn Burlingham's work includes memoir, essays about art, short stories and poetry.  She blogs about art, creativity, travel and family.  The great-granddaughter of Louis Comfort Tiffany, she has an eye for the aesthetics of nature as both subject and form. Water has long drawn her interest and study and is a theme woven into her work.

Big River Magazine

Capturing Unseen Forces, an article by Pamela Eyden about the nature of my work can be viewed in the 2012 January-February issue of Big River Magazine.          A copy of this story is found on the Exhibitions-Events page of this website.

the Blues

Echo: Waves and Particles, 29" x 120", gouache on paper

Six months after 9-11, my work entered a decade of the blues returning to the way of the river as a form of mediation. Echo: Waves and Particles illuminates the shock and awe of that period. Returning to the blues during trying times echos my childhood experience of the Cold War where concentrated thought was needed to understand and cope with philosophical conflict on an international scale. Indigo, known to soothe the soul, is the color of the river reflecting infinite space, a place of alternate perspectives.
