| About the Artist
Born in Augusta, Georgia and moved to Miami Florida
at age 10, graduated in 1964 from Hialeah High School and attended Florida
Southern College. Married William H. Pittard in 1965, and moved to Palm Beach
County in 1968. Spent the next twelve years as a devoted wife and mother to
three children.
Her interest in art began in 1980
when she first picked up a brush and took up a hobby oil painting, along with
another new hobby of racquetball. Within one year of picking up a brush for the
first time, Lynne was guided into teaching local classes in simplified oil
painting techniques at a local high school. Within her second year of painting
she was teaching at three local art leagues, three local continuing education
programs at high schools and one at Palm Beach Junior College.
Only three years after beginning
to paint Lynne was recognized as an outstanding and dedicated teacher. Her
patience and gift of gab made every painting class a fun and enjoyable learning
experience. As she evolved as an artist, the subtle and soft effects she
achieved in oils made the demand for her classes too much. With the talent God
had blessed her with, her passion for painting and sharing it with others, God
provided an entrepreneur to her doorstep, who produced and promoted Lynne’s gift
of teaching to viewers nationwide FREE through PBS television shows.
