Art - A Voice for the Landscape

Lynn Bickerton Chan works as a Landscape Architect for the National Park Service in Yellowstone National Park. Her husband is a Park Ranger. Lynn has painted many of the trail head orientation maps and exhibit panels seen around Yellowstone and has completed commissions for historic buildings through out the region. Other than the perspective and composition lessons of her landscape degree, Lynn is a self taught artist and uses pastel, pencil, and acrylic mediums in her art but her favorite is watercolor as she says it never ceases to amaze and inspire her, but will always keep her humble.

"My passion is both the power of the natural world and the way people interact with it. I like to paint local scenery, both nature and cultural history, as not only do these meld well with my training but they are two very important elements in preserving our past and our future. I hope my art will help remind people of the wealth of our region's natural history - from the mountains and the natural wonders, the valleys and open spaces, to the old buildings and winding roads."
