Artist Bio
Tammy L. Lynn, a native of New Jersey, made Boulder her home in 1994. The daughter of a painter and ceramic artist, Tammy grew up surrounded by creativity and discovered her passion for clay while a high school student leading to a Fine Art and Art History degree with a Concentration in Ceramics. She prefers creating functional objects but retains a sense of curiosity that often reveals itself in installation work combining the functional with sculptural.

Artist Statement
Through bright colors and design inspired by the post-war Abstract Expressionists/Color Field painters, I create utilitarian objects for daily use. I seek to express the notion of simple pleasures as an antidote to our busy lives. Influenced by the Japanese aesthetic of wabi-sabi, the beauty of things imperfect, impermanent, and incomplete, I do not seek flawlessness in my work but prefer to have the mark of my hand evident to convey a sense of accessibility and comfort.
