Poster Artist: Fiery Sunset Oasis by Lynn Jaye
Lynn Jaye was born and raised in London, England, and attended three major art schools before traveling around the world, studying Batik in Sri Lanka and Sumi-e in Japan. After many years of traveling, she settled down in Santa Cruz, California and went back to school to study interior design and fine art.She worked as an interior design consultant for five years before becoming a full-time artist. She likes to paint large landscapes in oils that give one the feeling of being present in nature. She has developed a unique style that describes the movement and energy of natural forms, and this style is called Dynamism. “My work is a good example of the intrinsic flow of nature and is available as original oils on canvas and also as limited edition prints on canvas and paper,” shared Jaye.
