Lynda
Elliott is
a life long New Hampshire resident. As a young girl
she loved to draw, and at the age of ten, she was
encouraged to take private lessons with a local artist
in Conway. Her studies were in pencil, charcoal,
pastel and pen & ink. The subjects
were still life and figure, some nudes.
Her photography began with a Graphics course in High School. She went on to earn
an Associates degree in Graphic Arts. The degree led her to a field in the printing
industry. Her successful twelve-year career as a cameraman and journeyman stripper
involved film processes and assembly in the pre-press department for various
commercial printers. Computer technology gradually crept in and eliminated the
use of film along with her position.
Lynda
decided to enroll in a Certificate Program for Graphic Design. She
took an interest in digital photography, merging her newly acquired computer
skills to create colorful and unique digital art.

Many
of her creations are abstract and unhindered by limitations,
due to the medium. Her photographic vision and exploration
continue to evolve. Her subject matter varies greatly,
offering vivid spectrums of color, dramatic lighting
styles and distinctive self-portraits.
The results have been numerous awards, encouragement from other artists, solo
and group exhibits, TV and newspaper interviews, sales of her artwork and recent
acceptance into the League of New Hampshire Craftsman. Lynda continues to search
for a Graphic Design job in her career transition, and is taking steps to become
a full time artist. She has most recently taken up acrylic painting with collage..
