Lynn Waltke’s favorite theme is realism, including a focus on birds, wildlife, botanicals, abstracts, and miniatures. She believes, “fine art belongs everywhere: where we work, where we play, in our homes and in our everyday experience.”

She uses a vast array of media: oils, watercolor, colored pencil, acrylic, pen & ink, graphite, and clay.

Lynn has lived in Tucson off and on since 1951. She finds the Sonoran Desert an exciting place to observe nature and to paint it.
