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 rebuilt and raced 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, ArtExpo San Diego, Audrain Newport Concours & Motor Week, Automobilia Collectors Expo, Beverly Hills Art Show, Chattanooga Motorcar Festival, Concours Of Elegance Hampton Courts UK, Cortile Della Corsa at Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix, Ferrari Club Of America Cars On 5th Concours, Fountain Hills Art Festival, Global Auto Salon Riyadh Saudi Arabia, Gallery 500 Daytona Beach, High Point Market, Japan Automotive Council Show, Japan Mobility Show, Kaaboo Del Mar, Laguna Beach Festival of Arts, La Jolla Art & Wine, La Jolla Concours D’elegance, Los Angeles LIT Show, Mission Federal Artwalk San Diego, Petersen Automotive Museum, Rennsport Reunion VII, RetroAuto Pebble Beach (Monterey Car Week), Saratoga Automobile Museum, SEMA Show, The Palm Beach Cavallino Classic, The Ritz Carlton Laguna Niguel, The Thermal Club, 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!
