About The Artist
ARTIST STATEMENT:
After studying art at Pratt Institute in New York, I ended up working in the business world as the trade show manager for Performance Racing Industry. For nearly a decade, I enjoyed everything about the racing industry and learned the value of good business acumen. These early experiences helped shape the course of my life as I decided to become a professional artist.
In 2012, after a horrific incident put me in the hospital with 2nd & 3rd-degree burns, a year of surgeries and occupational therapy, I was called back to art, a passion I enjoyed in my youth and early twenties.
My "Petals" collection, initially titled "Beauty from Ashes" became my ongoing conversation with God about the journey back from that difficult experience, recognizing there’s beauty to be found in the midst of life's struggles.
Now there are other works...other conversations I'm having in the form of abstractions and most recently, cars. In November 2017, I launched "Cars on Canvas" or my "Petrol" collection at the SEMA Show Artwalk.
It might seem strange to those who don't know my history, but my dad used to rebuild and race Porsche's when I was very young. The distinct sights, sounds and smells of that beautiful machine were embedded from those early memories.
Over the years my work has become recognized internationally and I've been blessed to have displayed at juried fine art shows, world class automotive concours and other distinguished events including:
Amelia Island Concours d’Elegance, Audrain Newport Concours & Motor Week, ArtExpo San Diego, Beverly Hills Art Show, Global Auto Salon Riyadh Saudi Arabia, High Point Market, Kaaboo Del Mar, Mission Federal Artwalk San Diego, Laguna Beach Festival of Arts, La Jolla Art & Wine, La Jolla Concours D’elegance, RetroAuto Pebble Beach (Monterey Car Week), The Ritz Carlton Laguna Niguel, Fountain Hills Art Festival, SEMA Show, Saratoga Automobile Museum, Petersen Automotive Museum, The Palm Beach Cavallino Classic, Ferrari Club Of America Cars On 5th Concours, Werks Reunion and more.
I can’t help but marvel at how each experience, each relationship, and the love and passion for what I do has allowed me this oddly wonderful journey to circle back to this place I find myself now.
Please don't hesitate to contact me at studio@lynhiner.com with questions, comments or if you would like to discuss a commission or special project.
Cheers!
