Lynn Whipple

Lynn Whipple is a Florida native and shares her life with her husband and fellow artist, John, and their two cats.

I am a mixed media artist in every sense of the word. I draw, paint, collage, sew, dip things in wax, journal and use found objects in assemblage. I relish the search for interesting items and have always been fascinated by history, old books, lost letters, worn fabrics, family photographs, wooden boxes and odd pieces of memorabilia. My process is to surround myself with all these found items and play. My work may be playful or serious, simple or complex, large or small.
