Description
Lynn Yuhr’s journey as a self-taught artist is as interesting as her creative jewelry. She often ignores boundaries and conventions, applying techniques from different mediums and utilizing unusual materials. Her intense curiosity to try new things often drives her direction. Overcoming obstacles in project construction is often her favorite part of the creative process. Her diverse experiences directly influenced her artistic life, where she has developed a playful yet distinctive style.
Polymer clay is the main material that Lynn uses in her art jewelry. Using a variety of other materials, she develops simple elements using mark making, textures, and sgraffito techniques, then she combines and layers them, sometimes adding some wire to provide a depth of interest and a tactile quality.
Lynn’s presentation will include her journey to find her own voice and the unexpected consequences of saying YES! The little and big steps along the way are equally important to move forward. She hopes to encourage others to say yes and move forward in their journey.
