Lynn Simmons

My visual work is constantly involved in a conversation between nature and abstraction, location and desire, and activism and materials. The potential of art that I am interested in is the transformative power of the creative process as a mindful practice, both in the making and the receiving, specifically the potential that art has to remind us of connections between each other and to things larger than ourselves.
Bio: I am a visual artist and educator, who holds a BFA in Sculpture from the Maine College of Art & Design, and MFA in Visual Art from Vermont College of Fine Arts. In addition to many smaller venues and galleries, my work has been featured at the Portland Museum of Art Biennial (Maine), the Center for Maine Contemporary Art, the Institute of Contemporary Art in Portland, Maine, the Davis Art Gallery in Worcester, Assumption University, Fitchburg Art Museum, Attleboro Arts Museum, the University of Massachusetts Medical School, and the Worcester Art Museum. I was honored with Best of Show in Worcester, Massachusetts’ first outdoor sculpture exhibition Art in the Park: An Exhibition of Sculptures by New England Artists.
