Lynn Stein is a painter with a passion for exploring what makes us unique.
She paints what she wants, what she needs, and who and what she wants to be.
Many of her gouache paintings on paper are autobiographical, layered with deeply personal meaning. She collects images of objects, color combinations, architectural spaces, and people. She haunts the halls of internet with its unlimited resource and takes and takes.
“My process has evolved into a much more fluid, spontaneous personal process that continually surprises me. I approach my work like short stories where I interact with new friends and subconscious parts of myself.”
“Trusting my imagination is my truth.” –

STILL A GIRL 2021
I post daily on Instagram like a firework shot into the night that says,“I’m here.”
I haunt the halls of the internet collecting, saving, filing, and organizing hundreds of images. Over time, I distill them down to the images with which I feel a special connection. It’s never initally apparent, but over time, it reveals itself to me.
My images are imbued with complex emotional lives that struggle,are victorious, but rarely are blissfully at peace. My work is spun with the anxiety of the future.
Living a solitary life, one could say that I’m literally “making” friends.
I am still a girl filled with contradictions. Sitting on the grass in the yard, drawing endlessly where I feel safe.
My work reflects who and where I am in this life.
