Lynne Simone

Born and raised an hour north of Manhattan in the Hudson River Valley region of New York state, I have been doodling since I can remember, drawing in notebooks (instead of my doing my algebra) and in the artistic ZONE. I studied a bit of design in college and then followed my folks to Florida and got sidetracked raising a family (kept the creative juices flowing with kid projects, classroom crafting and the occasional painting).
I became more serious about my art in the last few years as I find myself with an empty nest and more time to create and MAKE ART. Finally overcoming my fear of public speaking, I now love to inspire others to find their own creativity through teaching art classes and sharing my passion.
My specialty is “one of a kind” pet portraits, working in acrylics, pastels and oils.... whichever best suits the subject matter. The biggest compliment to me is getting an emotional response from my client and know that I have done my job well when they are literally moved to tears.
