Lynne Chesnek-Miller is a native Charlottean but spent many years in the mountains of NC, Colorado, Connecticut and elsewhere in the US. She has illustrated trail signs in Colorado, painted murals/illustrations for educational state forests in North Carolina, and worked as a theme artist for museums, aquariums, and Disney parks for several years. She and her husband, Chris, returned to Charlotte to raise her 3 children in 2006.
Lynne has been painting murals and created decorative wall finishes for many Charlotte families since their return. Her murals have been featured in several of our local magazines over the years.
Wanting to spend more time with her children, she began devoting more time to painting in her studio. Over the past few years Lynne discovered her love of encaustics. The play of light and layering allows her to represent the delicate veining of the flowers and trees that inspire her work. Although durable and sustainable in nature, encaustic paintings have a fragile essence. The medium allows her to add the detail that she loves, yet the unpredictability of the molten wax allows her paintings to unveil themselves in the process.
The subject of her paintings varies from landscapes and florals to abstractions. Her paintings are meant to draw the viewer in, allowing you to get lost in the detail and layers of color, texture, and light.
