PAINTINGS THAT TAKE YOU

TO A PLACE YOU'VE NEVER BEEN.

Lynn Welker is an abstract painter focused on the fascinating character of landscape views and their ever changing details.

In Welker's hands, each painting shelters stories waiting to unfold. 

Raised and educated in Ohio, Welker earned a BFA and BS in ED at the University of Cincinnati’s College of Design, Architecture, and Art. After moving to Southern California, she added an MA followed by a career path sharing her innovative art knowledge in areas of public education.

Today, Welker continues to be driven by the need to innovate. Without a preconceived notion of how a painting will look, imagery gradually emerges. Her paintings are intuitive, looking beyond the surface, reaching deeper, exploring the effects of erosion, sedimentation, and the passing of time. Welker says, “I want viewers to get comfortable with being uncomfortable as they encounter a new way of seeing into the hidden depths of nature.”

When looking at Welker’s work, you quickly notice an emphasis on geometric shapes. These angular configurations help to establish diagonal movement breathing energy into the composition. Equally important are the organic areas within the same painting. Combining hard edge geometric form with the softness of natural surroundings is essential to establish contrast within each work.

Blending the familiar with the unexpected, Welker shifts importance from a world of technology to one that reconnects people to the richness of the land.
