Visual Arts: Painting

I paint using things that already exist, this is what feels true to me. I need to reflect on culture, past and present, as an arbiter of interpretation. Others have created and have only touched on, merely scratched the surface. I then explore the subtle nuances of language and life. I need to explore, as I begin to paint, I let my mind wander into a free association. I define my oeuvre with compositions, which are provocative and whimsical. It is my intent to propel the viewer into scenes of seemingly unrelated subjects, contained within a captivating and complex sonatas. The simultaneous expressions are pop and edgy, esoteric and direct, unrelated and curiously similar, creating a visual language of paradox and juxtaposition. I want to provoke an emotional response from the viewer. That is why I paint.

Lynnette Shelley

Visual Arts: Mixed Media, Painting

Lynnette Shelley is an award-winning Pennsylvania artist specializing in contemporary mixed media animal and nature paintings. Having a great love of wildlife, patterns and archetypes, Shelley fuses these influences into her strikingly unique artworks. Her highly detailed and complex compositions are created using a sophisticated process developed from a buildup of multiple layers incorporating techniques in both drawing and painting – from crosshatching to ink splatter to linear painting. Some of Shelley’s work (her “fauxsaic” paintings) also incorporates elements of collage in which she adds hand-colored and cut watercolor paper to the artwork in a process that resembles mosaic tile. Shelley’s animal and nature themed artworks have been displayed nationally as well as regionally at museums, art galleries and other venues. In 2021, Shelley was awarded “Master Artisan” status by the Pennsylvania Guild of Craftsmen. Originally from Delaware, Shelley lives in Ambler, Pennsylvania, and maintains a private studio in Norristown.

Lynn Snyder

Visual Arts: Painting

Born and raised in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, I was always interested in drawing and painting. I briefly attended the Philadelphia College of Art (now called the University of the Arts) and The Art Institute of Philadelphia. Unsatisfied with my progress after years of trial and error, I enrolled in the Advanced Fine Art Program at Studio Incamminati to obtain classical drawing and painting skills in representational art. Access to internationally recognized teachers and award winning professional artists such as Leona Shanks, Natalie Italiano, Lea Wight, Steve Early, Darren Kingsley, Kerry Dunn and Dan Thompson, have allowed me to gain the tools I needed to pursue career as a fine artist. Currently, I am a fellow at Studio Incamminati where I maintain a studio.
