Artist’s Statement

Making art has always been second nature to me. I played with materials from my earliest age possible, three or two?  My mother was complimented on always giving me art materials when I was a small child. I am glad she did! I made mud pies and sand castles at the beach. Coloring and drawing, cutting things out, like a horse drawn cart in Central Park was an immediate possibility to me, without thinking about it, just doing it.

I could always be at the view or place I was looking at. Viewing was transportive and magical as it is today, for me  I can sit and look at the ocean, pelicans, any natural event and be right there for the moment. I can listen to people's stories and be there while I visualize their descriptions in my mind.   My own experiences loom before me in memory and I see welcome images appear.

And so my art is representative of these habits. I like to draw natural reality or what I imagine in my mind and my mind's eye. My subjects vary and surprise me often but come from Nature and imagination even though they range all over the map! Dreaming is sort of a bridge for me between the two worlds of Nature and imagination, as an entry into my work.   My art has always been a parallel reality for me and pieces become markers in time, reminding me that I have had different points of view at significant times in my life.

Thank you for your interest and attention, I am happy to share with you.

Berkeley Art Show by New Artists' Coop Member, Lynne Zickerman

Still active in the Bar Area, Lynne Zickernan has had a recent show of mono-types at the Espresso Roma Caffe in Berkeley, located at the corner of College and Ashby Avenues.

The show included unique images which were painted in oils on a large zinc plate.

After each image was painted, the plate was faced with a sheet of damp rice paper and

then, run through a heavy etching press to transfer the "picture" from the zinc plate to one

of   many colored rice papers.   Subjects are imaginative and romantic using subtle

colors in fantasy musings and brighter, basic colors in exploring natural settings."

Featured Artist in January 2011 at the Artists’ Co-op in Mendocino

Lynne’s reflections on a recent pilgrimage to ancient oracle sites in the Peleponnes, and other locations in Greece, inspired her Visions of Greece show, which launched our new year.
