About the Exhibit
Traveling Through Gardens reflects Lynette Fast’s joy in creating wall art that both adorns and expresses. Her work balances a practical aim of everyday enjoyment with a creative pursuit of bold, statement-making pieces.
Inspired by nature and the people around her, Lynette creates one-of-a-kind works that connect to personal stories and the spaces they inhabit. Drawn to eclectic environments, she explores how art can reflect individuality while bringing beauty and meaning into daily life.
With a deep passion for color, texture, gardens, teaching, and lifelong learning, this exhibit invites viewers to experience art as both a personal and shared journey—one that inspires, connects, and evolves.
