Lynda Bunnell is an abstract mixed-media artist whose work explores memory, impermanence, and the quiet relationship between humanity and the natural world. Through layers of acrylic paint, collage, metallic leaf, charcoal, and textured surfaces, she creates paintings that feel weathered by time—like artifacts carrying traces of forgotten stories.

Inspired by the patina of ancient walls, landscapes, and objects shaped by years of use and exposure, Bunnell embraces a process of building, obscuring, sanding, and revealing. Her paintings evolve intuitively through a dialogue with the surface, allowing unexpected connections and imagery to emerge. Recurring elements such as birds, rabbits, vessels, horizons, water, and luminous celestial forms appear throughout her work as symbolic witnesses—quiet reminders of presence, resilience, and transformation.

Working between abstraction and representation, Bunnell is less interested in describing a place or subject than in evoking a feeling. Her paintings invite viewers into spaces of contemplation, where mystery is welcomed and what remains partially hidden can be as meaningful as what is revealed.

Based in Southern California, Bunnell’s work reflects a lifelong fascination with nature, ancient cultures, and the beauty found in age, erosion, and imperfection. Through layered surfaces and atmospheric imagery, she creates paintings that offer a moment of stillness—a visual pause in an increasingly noisy world.
