Issue 15

IN THE HEADER: Lynda Ray

Saturated color and geometric pattern, executed with a paint-laden brush, are the hallmarks of Lynda Ray’s work. “My paintings are containers of time. The tiers of color viewed through layers of pattern reveal traces of previous stages, compressed like a double-exposure photograph,” says Lynda, who lives in Virginia and exhibits and teaches throughout the United States.
