Figurative Art And Portraiture
By Melanie Wilson
Monterey Bay's Great Galleries
Lynn Lupetti is an exquisite creature, petite and graceful, her gentle laugh and sparkling eyes captivate all who meet her. She is the epitome of charm, the definition of lovely. But a big, bold spirit is housed in this tiny, feminine form. An inquisitive mind, a keen intellect, Lynn is not content to skim the surface. Her life’s imperative is depth … get to the very bottom of things; find the true essence, the vein of gold. That is where the magic lives. She dives deeply into life, into art and emerges bearing gifts from unseen realms, from fragile, far away shores. Lynn sees a world of infinite possibility, of shimmering delight. In Lynn’s elegant hand a fine sable brush becomes a sword that cuts through the dull, workaday world and reveals a rich landscape of wonder and enchantment. She is fluent in magic, in leading us back to our child heart, in giving us new eyes.
“My connection to art is born of a deep, profound love. A need to communicate the beauty and awe of what I see, to have it run through me, out my hand and onto the canvas. To touch the viewer in the way I was touched. There is an invisible thread that runs from the image to someone’s heart. When I am painting in my studio, there is a moment every afternoon when it feels as though the angels descend, the paint is on the brush, my hand is moving to the harmony of Beethoven or Mozart, my heart starts swimming in this stream of bliss and peace. I let go and it is all just happening around me. It is a pure gift.”
In the last few years Lynn has traveled the world collecting images and experiences that have surprised and delighted her many fans. “Being in a foreign land forces an artist to look at everything with a new intensity, an even deeper way of seeing. I feel that I have moved the brush from my hand to my heart.” To capture the very essence of a person’s soul and then bring them to life on canvas, that is the imperative of this artists’ journey. It is this tender, thoughtful approach that has brought about a flurry of commissioned work, making Lynn one of the most sought after portrait artists in the country.
Lynn’s artistic vision has been an inspiration to people from all over the world. Her work is included in the collections of the Vatican, the White House, and the Smithsonian Institute. Corporate leaders, statesmen, athletes, and entertainers collect her paintings and all agree that Lynn has gently led them back to the place where innocence and wonder were our constant companions.
Additionally the Lynn Lupetti Gallery offers a magical selection of bronze sculpture by Kim Kori and J.A. Pippett. They extend a personal invitation to visit “Carmel’s Most Magical Gallery.”
