Inspired by many artists, Lynne Seitzer is especially drawn to the works of
Wassily Kandinsky, Edward Hopper, Georgia O’Keefe, Pierre-Auguste Renoir,
and John Singer Sargent, among others. As an artist she works comfortably
within many styles, mediums, and techniques, choosing what suits her subject
best. Her diverse vocabulary of painting includes impressionist and realistic
landscapes, cityscapes, visionary imagery, spontaneous abstraction, still life,
figurative work, and portraiture. As a keen observer and one who appreciates
humanity, she loves to paint the young and the old.

Seitzer obtained a Liberal Arts degree and an Associate of Arts degree
in Minnesota at South Central College and Minnesota State University at
Mankato. She then began painting and illustrating professionally, as a free
lance artist and logo designer. In 1980 she accepted a position as a fashion
illustrator and photo stylist, which evolved into the position of Advertising Art
Director for a group of twenty department and specialty stores. She created,
illustrated, and wrote ad campaigns for print, radio, and television, earning
recognition with several national and international design awards. In the fall
of 1992, Seitzer moved into greeting card design as an illustrator and stylist
for an international stationery company. She developed and worked on card
lines and stationery for Target, Kinko’s, Hallmark Wedding, Disney, Royall,
Masterpiece, and Nuart Cards.

Seitzer’s paintings, portraits, and card designs have been collected
throughout the United States, Europe, and Japan. In 1999 she and artist
husband John Michael Thomas Seitzer opened Joy to The Wind Studio/
Gallery in Boothbay Harbor, Maine. There they paint and teach the creative
process to students of all ages. Their winter months are spent gathering
inspiration as they travel, connecting with their family and painting in the
Southwestern United States. Seitzer is represented by galleries in Camden and
Boothbay Harbor, Maine; St. Peter, Minnesota; Manhattan Beach, California;
and Scottsdale and Sedona, Arizona.
