Testimonials:
Our little dog Hobo was my husband's loving companion. When Hobo died, we commissioned Marie to paint a portrait of him. Marie caught his true expression and spirit in an exceptional way. Looking at the painting, we feel Hobo is still with us...we love the portrait! Caroline Dobbs
The artist captured our Jake's spirit and personality in his portrait which we are so happy to have to remember him. Theresa Sheridan
An aspect that differentiates Marie's artwork is her ability to work with vibrant colors that bring enhanced beauty to all of her paintings. Her work is evocative of the grand masters. Laura P. Dickey
One is aware of the depth of her gift when one looks at the eyes in her paintings, the eyes of the people and pets...it is uncanny, they seem alive and to return your gaze. Marie Lynch is truly a talented portrait artist. I'm filled with joy whenever I look at my painting of Ginger. Miriam Larson
Marie's collages are microcosms that commpellingly absorb one. I get lost in these unique works. Victoria McCall
Coming from a fine arts background and taking the journey from photography to the world of sculpture, the challenges have been indescribable. When I met Marie 20 years ago her path as an abstract painter evolved to still lives, landscapes and portraiture. The journey as an artist is as unpredictable as life itself. It takes courage for every artist to reach these plateaus and go beyond. My introduction to collage was the most challenging of all mediums because it incorporates so many possibilities. The challenges in taking fundamental elements and methodically placing them on a surface can be one of the greatest freedoms and fears an artist can face. The outcome can be as surprising. I can only compare it to the movement of the clouds and the first sounds of thunder after a lighting strike - fear and awe. Marie continues to be an inspiration to me. Tressa Octave
