Lynn Peters

The daughter of an art teacher and an engineer, Lynn Peters grew up in a home where people cut, glued, sewed, built, knit, and carved. But her first experience with watercolor wasn’t until six years ago. She didn’t entirely love it. Then, during the worst days of the Covid pandemic, she took an online class that introduced her to the idea of using ink and watercolor together. The drawing part came quite naturally, and the watercolor guaranteed there’d always be a challenge. She was hooked.

Several people have used the phrase “less is more” to describe Lynn’s work. She says she is, indeed, “a bit of a minimalist” and always aiming for “just enough.”

Lynn painted four murals on a Town of Ledgeview bike trail, an undertaking she describes as “not for the faint of heart.” She teaches at The Art Garage and is currently an Artist in Residence at the NWTC Artisan Center. Her art appears in private collections and was licensed for use by a large nonprofit. She sells her notecards and paintings online and at several Wisconsin shops and galleries. 

She belongs to the Green Bay Art Colony and the Lakeshore Artists Guild, and regularly takes classes with Midwest artists whose styles she admires.
