Lynn adds fine art photography to the mix and works with clients in the food world. Her body of work is purely personal. It is about the obvious but often overlooked beauty of the harvest. Visits to photograph at local Maine farmer's markets took a new direction when she brought a stunning purple cauliflower back to her studio and placed it on an old white pedestal by an east-facing window, honoring vegetables by literally placing them on a higher level. Lynn triumphs in showing her reverence for the remarkable colors and forms in the garden. The Pedestal Series and The Tray Series evoke, through beauty that is also sustenance, a sense of connectedness to this planet. She has also added simple man-made kitchen objects to her still-lifes, again showing good design can be found everywhere if you take the time to really look.
