I am Lynn Blair, a retired registered nurse and professional health care executive living in Scottsdale, Arizona.'

I am a lover of all types of art, especially mixed-media art with an emphasis on fibers, paper, found objects, vintage buttons and lace, metal, yarn, recycled items, beads and ephemera.

Currently, I am a member involved with several artist groups and communities. I look forward to teaching classes in local community centers and at my personal studio located on the corner of Shea Blvd and Frank Lloyd Wright Blvd in Scottsdale.

I enjoy combining many different types of items and mediums to create unique art and fiber journals.

I use fabric, thread, yarn, metal, buttons and beads to create jewelry.

I enjoy how things "feel" when you touch them, so texture and movement is an important component to my creations.

My artistic inspiration comes to me from: the Earth, color, shapes, traveling, forms, depth, nature, different cultures, memories, a vision, how my soul feels about something, imagination, inner feelings, other artists, and the area where I live.

Related to art inspiration, Auguste Rodin said, "The main thing is to be moved, to love, to hope, to tremble, to live."

My hope is my creations: move people, have them feel love, create inspiration, feel hope, tremble with excitement and make them feel alive.
