About the Artist

Lynne Hartman, a native Texan, has been a resident of Huntsville, AL since 1987.  She spent part of her childhood living and traveling in Europe as an Air Force brat.  After graduating from the University of Texas-El Paso, Lynne and  her Army husband were stationed in Japan, Greece, and Stateside.  She credits a college humanities class with kindling a passion for art collecting that led to a desire to become an artist.  Her first classrooms were major art museums.  Eventually she took college art courses.  Her style and subjects are heavily influenced by her travels (which she and her husband continue today), especially those of Japan where simplicity and essence are esteemed elements in art.
