ARTIST BIO

Lynleigh grew up in Irvine, California when there were orange orchards, strawberry fields, and lots of room to roam. As a child, her mom exposed her to various art media from watercolors and acrylics to junk art and clay to dance and theater. Her earliest childhood memories include the exciting summer pilgrimages to Laguna to see the “real” artists at the Festival of Arts.

At university, Lynleigh took a stained-glass class to fulfill a requirement for her science degree. There she found her deep connection with colored glass. She continued with her new stained-glass hobby until she took another class where she fell in love with kiln-formed glass. Throughout Lynleigh’s career as a Geologist; glass was her every evening, every weekend, every vacation hobby. Twenty-five years later, Lynleigh’s love affair with glass has morphed into her full-time profession and she declares she’s living her dream!

Lynleigh crafts exquisite art using sophisticated colors, intricate details, and rhythms in textures and patterns. Lynleigh’s awards include first place in the nationwide Glass Craft Expo and third place at the Beverly Hills Art Show. Her glass sculptures are shown in several galleries and she teaches glass arts at nonprofit Orange County Fine Arts association.
