Lynn Newman Simple Gifts Lynn Newman moved to North Carolina in March 2020, after a career as an art teacher and program coordinator in Wyoming. Secluded in his new home during the onset of the pandemic, he sought comfort in his paintings, focusing on florals and landscapes. He started working on a series of paintings based on the parks and scenes he and his wife enjoyed during their daily walks in their new surroundings. The series of paintings continues - helping Lynn feel grounded and providing a sense of hope. “In this time of uncertainty -emotionally, politically and physically- it’s my hope that others might interpret their own sense of solace and hope for the future with gifts as simple and as powerful as the flowers and landscapes we discover in our own backyards”.
