Lynette Haggard received her B.F.A. from Philadelphia College of Art. Lynette's first love is landscape painting; recording impressions and textures. Her paintings are experiments recording personal impressions of landscape forms and color. She works from memory, photographs, and on-site.
For the of the body of work on display at Artana, Lynette took inspiration from New England landscape during the autumn of 1999. As she explored the new medium of water based oil paints on panels, she discovered that these materials combined give a lush liquid stroke to the paintings. This freedom allowed for fairly quick interpretation of the subject matter. This type of surface exploration was further developed in her large oil on canvas, Ridgetop Trees.
Lynette has always appreciated the landscape, spending much of her childhood summers in rural Vermont on a dairy farm, as well as camping and canoeing. She now lives on the Sudbury River, home of many bird sanctuaries and interesting wild life.
In October 1999 she studied Northern Landscape Painting with Eric Aho at the Great River Arts Institute in New Hampshire. In August 2000 she will participate in an Art New England intensive workshop at Bennington College: "The Observed Landscape".
When in college, she won a residency at the Artists for the Environment Painting Consortium at the Delaware Water Gap. Other artists who have influenced her work include: Richard Diebenkorn, Fairfield Porter, Natalie Charkow, Harry Soviak, Teri Malo, and Gema Phillips.
Lynette is a member of the Saxonville Studios in Framingham, and the Carriage House Artists group of Brookline. She has exhibited at Artspace in Greenfield Mass., the Stamford Art Association, The Whistler House Museum, Southboro Arts Center, Attleboro Art Museum, The Concord Art Association, The Cultural Art Alliance of Hopkinton, Upstairs at Johnson's Gallery on Newbury Street, and the West Newton Cinema.
