Artist: Lynde Mott Bio: Having the fortune of birth in the American West during the early 1970s, Lynde was part of the feral yet still carefully cultivated childhood generation that roamed the neighborhood daily and survived on water from garden hoses. A military father led to numerous living locations, an educator mother led to enriching activities, and four sisters led to a variety of fun and dysfunction. Lynde managed to secure a BFA from BYU in illustration in 1997 and has been freelancing in both symbolic and historical paintings and decorative work ever since. Her artistic work wove around the upbringing of her three boys who have become a music educator, a therapist, and an aerospace engineer, proving that the apples actually often fall quite far from the tree. She has resided for twenty years in Pleasant Grove, Utah, with her frame-making, ethics coach, accommodating husband Randy, who believes that, "There is no surface safe from Lynde." His proof comes in the form of their home in Pleasant Grove that has twelve painted murals, a painted VW named Betty, and more houseplants than Lynde cares to enumerate here. Title: Prism Medium: Oil on board Dimensions: 23 x 42 inches Price: $4500 Artist Statement: The Holiness of God is like a white light, pure and clear, and when it shines through the prism of our individual lives, it breaks forth into an infinite variety of colors. When we allow the light of heaven to shine through us, it reflects and augments who we truly are. We are immortal creatures capable of ascension, discernment, and infinite love.
