This biography from the Archives of AskART:
| Lynn Rowan Myers began painting after already achieving a career in teaching and raising a family. After career counseling guided her to art or gardening she decided to give art a try with a three-year experiment. If she did not find success she would return to teaching.
Myer's paintings, which have influences of Matisse and the Fauve artists of the 1900s, were well received. Myer's technique of first washing her canvases in red brings drama to her work. The use of red as a middle tone allows her to use rich dark colors to tell her story. She also employs much of what she learned for Kim English, whom she studied with for many years, in her paintings.
Myers has lived in many states throughout the west including Utah, Arizona and Texas. She plans to paint more of California, her home state in the future. While Myers likes to paint what is familiar she has also traveled to the San Juan Islands off the Seattle coast and an African Safari for inspiration and new material.
