Lynda Bunnell’s artistic journey is a beautiful blend of experimentation, tradition, and deep personal exploration. From her early work with pine needle vessels in 2012 to her later developments in painting, she has embraced a process of constant evolution and discovery. Her work, marked by the use of acrylic layers, mixed media, cold wax, encaustic, and various mark-making tools, reflects her experience of uncovering depth and history—similar to the texture and beauty of old, timeworn structures she encountered in Europe and North Africa.
Lynda’s paintings are often a blend of abstract, yet they hold a quiet order that emerges organically over time, much like the hidden stories behind ancient artifacts. She describes her creative process as a conversation, one that begins with minimal direction but grows through an intuitive back-and-forth with the painting. This openness to the unknown allows her to explore and uncover layers of meaning and self, ultimately resulting in pieces that feel both deeply personal and universally resonant.

Strata Totem Series
Elevate your space with the Strata Totem Series, a collection of striking vertical abstracts designed to command attention through unique dimensions. These pieces function as "architectural jewelry" for the home—perfect for narrow columns, entryways, or as a rhythmic installation when grouped together.
The Construction
Each piece in this series is meticulously built on professional-grade, high-quality wood panels. This solid substrate provides a perfectly flat, warp-resistant surface that supports the heavy textural elements and metallic leafing. The narrative continues beyond the face of the work, as the art wraps seamlessly around the extra-deep 2.75" sides, giving the series a bold, sculptural presence that traditional canvas cannot match.
The Vision
The series explores the concept of "strata"—the layering of time, texture, and color. Each piece is a rich tapestry of deep teals, cerulean blues, and misty aquas, punctuated by bold applications of gold leaf and intricate textural patterns. The verticality draws the eye upward, mimicking the natural stacking of earth and atmosphere.
