In My Space - Mixed Media Painting by Lynell Ingram in Arlington Heights

Lynell is a mixed-media painter based in Arlington Heights, IL, who earned her BFA from the Milwaukee Institute of Art & Design. She worked in design and digital illustration for years before she made the transition to creating fine art, experimenting and teaching herself new techniques of mixed media painting. 15 years spent working in graphic arts allow Lynell to bring a touch of illustrative storytelling to her work. She combines that with figurative painting and mixed media chaos to visually dissect the impact of social influences and culture on women's mental health. Lynell has most recently exhibited in ‘Windows to the Inside: Expressions of Mental Health,’ with Woman Made Gallery in Chicago, IL, and a solo exhibit of 'The Inspiration Project,' at Prospect Heights Public Library.
