Episode#8 Lynden Cowan: Wooden Canvas + Gifted Palettes

Creatively Thinking With Carolyn Botelho

Being a self taught Artist Lynden Cowan meticulously creates wild landscapes with highly detailed scenes. Finding solitary amusement as a child Lynden used scrap wood as canvas; making her own paints from dandelions, berries and vegetables. By the grace of teachers gifting her supplies - as kitchen pots were no longer suitable, her talent blossomed.
Growing up in Brampton, Cowan returned to painting during a time of family sorrow. Fashioning her style after her memories of Nova Scotia where she was born, maturing every Summer by spending it with her Grandmother in a rural atmosphere. This idyllic setting was the perfect opportunity for Lynden to hone her craft.
To develop her style in both landscape and architectural subjects. As well as be a true entrepreneur starting her own Art school at the age of 16. Where did she gather the courage to start these amazing projects? Was teaching in her background? Was the gifts of art supplies the incentive to share her new skills with her students? Was her incentive ultimately the breathtaking landscape from her home on the East Coast?
