Lyn Schildwachter @ University Business Center
"Body Parts - Part 1"
Oil Paintings

Lyn is an oil painter was looking for a challenge. 
"I thought, I will make 50 paintings of my own body parts, on 2x2 squares, using saturated, vivid colors. I chose a square format which seemed chopped and uncomfortable, and colors like Pepto-Bismol pink, Indian yellow, and deep turquoise which were so in-your-face they seemed the opposite of me."
The results of this project are stunning. 
The work is bold. It's unsettling. It's fascinating. 
You won't be able to look away.

Artist's reception 6pm - 9pm.
