Originally from Alabama, Lynn LaRose moved to Texas in 1990. After a trip to Arizona and New Mexico to view the American Indian art galleries, she was inspired to learn more of the culture and history. Her oil paintings, pencil and colored pencil drawings reveal her love for the people and faces of the deep south and the southwest. Coupled with her southern roots, her art reveals this inspiration and desire to capture those images of our past and present.
Lynn travels to South Dakota in the summer to photograph
the Sioux Indians from that area, as well as western and Civil War
reinactors. Her photographs serve as inspiration and subject matter for her
paintings.
Art showings include the Colorado and Texas Indian
Markets that are held once a year in Denver, Colorado and Arlington, Texas.
Her artwork is also displayed at Visual Expressions Gallery in Cedar HIll, Texas.
Lynn is a member of the Ellis County Art Association.
