Lynne Mizera
Creston, BC
A self-taught mixed media artist unapologetically painting the female face and adding colour to the world one painting at a time
MessageLynne Mizera, a self-taught, mixed media artist, realized early on that she saw the world differently than most, and has spent her life sharing that vision. Using collage papers she makes herself, modeling pastes and acrylic paints and inks, she builds up layers of mediums to create pieces filled with simple shapes, rich with vibrant colours and textures.
Her current fascination is with the female face and She is focused on creating a body of work embracing the female face, striving to capture the emotions hidden behind the face most women show the world. Behind every woman’s face is a story she wants to find and tell. When not painting female faces Lynne creates florals and landscapes in her very textured, colourful mixed media style.
Lynne lives in the Kootenay Mountains in British Columbia, Canada were she spends her days working full time in her art studio.
Statement
I have always been fascinated by women because we live with the daily pressure of showing only our best face to the world, while there is so much more hidden behind that face.
Using a mixed media technique involving layers of collage papers, dimensional, mediums and acrylic paints, I create depth and dimension and texture emulating life in all its glorious messiness while striving to capture that elusive piece of each woman and what she is hiding from the world.
I want the layers of collage and media in my paintings to mirror how our lives are made up of layers of many different memories and experiences to create an interesting background rich with depth and textures.
