Lynda Dallaire

Lynda Dallaire is a contemporary artist painting with acrylic on metal using mixed media in a semi-abstract style. Visual arts have always been part of Lynda’s life since her childhood and her experiments with various artistic techniques and media led her to follow numerous art classes once in college. A businesswoman for over twenty-five years, Lynda also holds a language degree and one in interior design.

It was only in 2010 when Lynda decided to start painting full time, which led her to exhibit at various venues in Canada and in Europe, including national art galleries. Aside of her artistic work, Lynda founded her own publishing house, Fabulle, in Spring 2014, which publishes books for children. She published over 70 childrens’ books since that period while maintaining a full-time career as a painter.

Lynda is recognized for her technique and style of painting acrylic flowers on metal. The transparency of the acrylic on the aluminum creates stunning tints of luminosity. These tints, along with the richness of the newly created textures – some with coffee beans – are highlighted by adding a final coat of lacquer. The captivating contrast between the cold metal and the warmth of the compositions thus result in the creation of illuminating works of art.

As part of her paintings, Lynda may incorporate geodes of amethysts or citrine, polished agates or fluorites, petrified wood, and Swarovski crystals. Lynda’s art can be displayed either vertically or horizontally. Interestingly, this artist follows the sun schedule and only paints when it is sunny as she uses only the natural light to guide herself in creating her pieces.
