Artist M. Ann Lynch
Born in Cincinnati, Ohio, M. Ann Lynch began her journey by going to Art Tutors after grade school. She continued her studies throughout all her four years in high school as well.
Ann graduated from the University of Cincinnati, School of Design, Art & Architecture with a BA in Art Education. Her studies focused on graphic design and her work continues to reflect that early influence, most noticeably by strong use of color and space.
After graduation, she co-owned an Art Gallery in downtown Cincinnati, with her then husband. Afterwards she worked in the pharmaceutical sales industry for ten years.
Ann remarried and moved to the Florida Keys in 1984. Living amongst the native vegetation has brightened her palette considerably, by infusing her paintings with a rich, vibrant flavor and texture. She is particularly attracted to the high contrast of light when reflected in many scenes. The natural beauty of the Keys has become a recurring subject for her stunning watercolors.
Through the years her love of painting has been enhanced by her second love, travel. She has traveled extensively throughout Europe, Australia, New Zealand and Africa as well as the United States. With a camera as her constant companion, she has been able to capture her experiences on film and then translate those images into paintings.
