ARTIST BIO

Lynnette Hunter

Lynnette Hunter is a photographer and mixed-media artist whose work explores the inner life through restraint, symbolism, and quiet transformation. Working across photography, painting, and mixed media, she creates contemplative pieces that invite reflection and emotional safety, revealing what often remains unspoken. Her work exists at the intersection of feeling and form, held with care and intention.

Lynnette’s relationship with image-making began early, shaped by a lifelong attentiveness to detail and the natural world. During high school, she was introduced to the black and white photography of Ansel Adams, where she discovered how the absence of color can sharpen perception and bring subtle details into focus. She went on to study photography at university, earning a degree in Commercial Arts: Photography with a minor in Business Administration in 2004.

Over the years, her work has spanned landscape and nature photography, portraiture, and professional photography with families, seniors, and weddings. While these experiences refined her technical skill and visual discipline, her artistic focus has gradually shifted toward capturing quieter inner transformations through symbolic imagery, nature, and creative portraiture.

Lynnette has exhibited work in local community spaces, including coffee shops and libraries, and continues to develop a body of work rooted in observation, patience, and emotional intelligence. Her current focus is Wisdom Portraits, an ongoing mixed-media series that incorporates black and white photography layered with encaustic medium to explore embodied intuition and feminine wisdom. Alongside this series, she creates mixed-media works that honor personal unfolding, inner truth, and the slow process of becoming.

Through her practice, Lynnette approaches art as a form of refinement rather than revelation — allowing meaning to emerge through time, restraint, and presence.
