Eva-Lynn Loy
Artist Statement Ever since I can remember, I have been making art. As a recent resident of the beautiful Monadnock region, my passion for creating art has been reignited. There seems to be, just before the muse appears and before taking paint to paper, a moment of anticipation, a pregnant pause. Then, there "it" is offering an opportunity to take a leap of faith into creating some kind of visual representation of my outer and/or inner world. Often the results reflect more what I feel or the way I'd like to see things than the way they actually appear.Biography Eva-Lynn is an artist, expressive art therapist and teacher. After teaching Elementary School, Eva-Lynn returned to school to become an expressive art therapist. In 1997, Eva-Lynn created and implemented a full-time expressive art therapy program at an alternative elementary school in Lynn, Massachusetts. Since 2005, Eva-Lynn has been studying with Frankie Brackley Tolman at the Sharon Arts Center and taken workshops with Robert Burridge. While her children and grandchildren live in NY, Eva-Lynn lives in New Hampshire with her husband, Bob.
