Lynn Mayes

Lynn Mayes says she is the vessel through which the paint speaks and through which the painting takes on a life of its own.  She uses the grisaille technique. Where she uses layers of oil paint on a textured base. The work is then finished with ink, foil, wax, metallic acrylic, metallic leaf and oil pastel.

Reviews on her Art can be found in various publications for example, The Atlanta Journal Constitution, and Atlanta Jewish Times. She is represented by Bobbe Gillis Gallery in Atlanta, Taylor Kinzel Gallery in Roswell, GA., and Slaymaker Fine Art Ltd in Chicago. Georgia Public Broadcasting ran a feature on Mayes in 2006 under “State of The Arts”.

Mayes studied at the Vanderbilt university in Nashville in Nashville, Tennessee. She studied with Phillip Lawrence Sherrod at the Art Student League in New York and in Greece at the Art School of the Aegean. Please have a look at Cerulean Fine Art Gallery for more art, and contact information.

Let's get to know our members - weekly (Marjorie Jordan)

Marjorie Jordan

Marjorie Jordan says that she want her work:” not only to illustrate the amazing creativity, life affirming beauty and complexity of Nature, but to win the viewer over to a sense of wonder for the natural order.”(Artist’s Website - Statement) Using oil, pastel, and altered photographic images she choose to show the magic in nature, giving back the miracles that we find in everyday happenings in Nature.

The growing of plants, the reflection of trees in water, a simple sea shell, a cob on the corn become food from the gods. In her latest work the human figure plays a diminished role. She uses hands to represent the abundance of nature back to nature. Where Nature gives to us, she is in a sense giving back to nature and the universe. Jordan uses her work as a tool, beautiful tool to change people’s perspective.

Her work can be find in collections nationwide. Jordan has shown her work in various galleries like the Barbara Archer Gallery and Gallery 413 in Atlanta, GA. Silvershotz(International Journal of Fine art Photography) published her work. The Atlanta Journal Constitution also published her painting titled “Pear”.
