Lynda is a professional artist, an associate professor of art and the director/curator of the Art & Cultures Gallery, Kellogg Photography Gallery and the IMPRINT Gallery and Public Spaces Art curator at Alverno College.

She graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee with a Master of Fine Arts in Sculpture with an emphasis in Foundry and a Bachelor of Arts Ceramics. I currently teach Ceramics, Sculpture, Metals, Fused Glass, Gallery Management and Senior Seminar.

Throughout her career her clay, bronze, aluminum, and welded/glass steel sculptures depict nature imagery. She enjoys experiencing the outdoors, a simple walk through a park may provide an idea for creating my organic art.

Her artwork is usually through commissions although she participates in exhibits in galleries around Milwaukee.

Lynda received commission work from the private sector and various organizations. She has conceptualized, designed, and installed ten public sculptures that can be viewed publicly throughout Wisconsin. The largest and most prominent sculpture in the Milwaukee area is Heritage Tree, a 14 x 20 ft wall sculpture created for Aurora-Mt Sinai downtown. Lynda designed, created, and installed the sculpture in the lobby of hospital. This site-specific sculpture is constructed of fused glass and cast aluminum. The tree imagery represents the growth of the hospitals and pays homage to their donors. Alverno students participated in a salaried position. They gained experience in creating large scale relief art and were involved with the ceramic shell mold making process and aluminum and bronze casting.

Throughout the past twenty years, she has integrated frameworks, art making, and the knowledge of student development as a foundation for her teaching. Her Sculpture and Metals courses offers students a variety of visual and technical learning experiences in an extensive study of sculpture with an emphasis on women sculptors. This is an opportunity for women to learn non-traditional mechanical skills. These classes explore metal casting, wood working, clay modeling, plaster modeling, cutting, and welding steel.

The exhibition season of college gallery spaces to include 2-4 exhibitions annually which connect with student curricular requirements (graduates exhibits) in the Art Department and 4-5 additional exhibitions including the general education conferences and alumnae exhibitions.
