Lynne Meneses

Artist Lynne Meneses creates vibrant Expressionist and Abstract paintings, often combining both styles, that explore the intersection of emotion, color, and form. "My journey as an artist began with love and longing for creativity and a belief in the transformative power of visual language," says Lynne. She studied under Chen Yong Xiang in Beijing, who instilled classical foundations during the Cultural Revolution, and later under Professor Madeleine Gekiere in New York, who guided her development and helped shape her artistic vision. Her work reflects this dialogue between traditional and contemporary approaches, informed by her personal experiences and beliefs. Lynne paints from a sun-filled studio on the South Shore of Long Island, just a mile from the Atlantic Ocean, where the upper level is dedicated to painting and the lower level houses storage and framing. Outside the studio, she studies art to further her practice and swims regularly to recharge, keeping her grounded and continually evolving.
