Artist Statement:
I heard a writer say once
that how we experience life is
an illusion and that the
purpose of art is to uncover
reality. Indeed, reality seems
quite like a set of unturned
cards, and I'm not sure we can
define it until after our hand
has been played. The best
solution I have found is to
fray the edges of the illusion
a bit by bending the laws that
everyone knows. In my
paintings people can fly,
plants and people merge, women
wear snorkels while making
love. For me, these images
hint at reality, opening a
back door to the underlying
truth of what I see and
experience. By painting things
in a magical light, the
illusion starts to give way to
the real in the same way that
madness sometimes serves to
define sanity. --Lynette
