Artist: Lynde Mott
Bio: Having the fortune of birth in the American West during the early 1970s, Lynde was part of the feral yet still carefully cultivated childhood generation that roamed the neighborhood daily and survived on water from garden hoses.
A military father led to numerous living locations, an educator mother led to enriching activities, and four sisters led to a variety of fun and dysfunction.
Lynde managed to secure a BFA from BYU in illustration in 1997 and has been freelancing in both symbolic and historical paintings and decorative work ever since. Her artistic work wove around the upbringing of her three boys who have become a music educator, a therapist, and an aerospace engineer, proving that the apples actually often fall quite far from the tree.
She has resided for twenty years in Pleasant Grove, Utah, with her frame-making, ethics coach, accommodating husband Randy, who believes that, "There is no surface safe from Lynde." His proof comes in the form of their home in Pleasant Grove that has twelve painted murals, a painted VW named Betty, and more houseplants than Lynde cares to enumerate here.

Artist Statement: Learning to give and receive love is foundational to our human experience. As such, I literally spelled it out with playful children's toy blocks. They remind me to not take myself too seriously as I strive to "Love More, Worry Less."
