Lyn StClair's work is based exclusively on her personal experience. She spends countless hours in the field watching the wildlife she portrays and exploring the country that inspires her work.
Experiences on the life-long journey as an artist include: pulling crab pots on the Bering Sea, wandering the coast of the Baltic Sea and watching Ross' gulls hunt the surf of the Chukchi Sea...following foxes across Aleutian hillsides in winter and hunting dogs across Montana fields in fall...watching hornbills cruise the rainforest canopy from ABOVE in Cambodia..."chasing" polar bears at the top of the world and grizzlies in near the 45th parallel...driving a herd of horses 28 miles across Montana's Mission Valley (camera in one hand, reins in the other) and driving throughout the lower 48 to plein air paint 48 states in 48 weeks for a charity project. It is Yellowstone that always brings the most inspiration, though.
Lyn's paintings have won over 80 awards across the country, including Best in Show three years in a row at the Ward Museum Show. Her work has been exhibited at the Tucson Museum of Art, Leigh Yawkey Woodson Art Museum, Bennington Center for the Arts, the West Valley Art Museum, the Hiram Blauveldt Art Museum and the Phippen Museum. Other notable exhibitions that have included her work are Arts for the Parks Top 100, "Wild in de Natuur" (Enschede, Netherland) and the Society of Animal Artists' Annual Shows. Lyn's work is in the permanent collections of the Bennington Center for the Arts and the Worrell Museum.
