"In Real Life" Drawing

I am a native New Orleans artist, lover of all the arts and protégé of the late prominent New Orleans artist Ann T. Cooper who has many works featured in the New Orleans Museum of Arts. I have been drawing, painting, sculpting in clay as well as pottery and other forms of art since I was six years old. I won many contest as well as designed and created costumes for plays throughout my adolescence which led me to try many other different forms of art expression including multi-media, stone sculpting, acting and set design. All of which led to my acquiring a Fine Arts degree from Delgado Community College in 2000. Since then, I have continued my expression of art though painting, use of pastels, charcoal, graphite, stone sculpting, jewelry design, sculpted feathered wearable headpieces and creations known as "LynnBeck Collection". My artwork has been featured at the Contemporary Arts Center, many festivals including the French Quarter Festival and featured in New Orleans Gambet magazine in 2015. I have also studied abroad traveling to different well known museums through out Europe. As a protege of artist Ann T. Cooper I am privileged to have started my teaching career in her private art studio in uptown New Orleans. I taught there for about 6 years before I went on to teach out of my own studio. I taught classes of about 20 to 25 people, lessons including oil and acrylic painting, figure drawing using nude models and fuax finishes. I was privileged to work with Ann on a daily basis resulting in my strong creative and broad respect for all forms of art. I am a very inspired artist with my own unique style and flair ranging from many uses of different mediums and subject matters .html?tab=artwork,
