We sat down with her this week—painter, collage artist, professor emeritus from University of Louisiana at Lafayette. Lynda grew up in Rhode Island, but her work is soaked through with bayou light and Louisiana mysticism. Her collages pull together satellite scans, saucers, sacred forests, and pigment ground from the literal dirt of this place.
She talks about trees like they’re old neighbors. UFOs like they’re benevolent environmental auditors. Her work hums with something you don’t always see in contemporary art: wonder. Deep-time, myth-making, Jungian dreamstuff.
Big thanks to Lynda for the stories, the hospitality, and the reminder that the Earth’s still got a few secrets—and some allies we didn’t expect.
