Lyn Hiner is an automotive artist who describes her paintings as “abstract expressionist in acrylic on canvas and paper.” She lives in San Clemente, California with her family, working from her studio that overlooks a park and the Pacific Ocean. While she paints a variety of subject matter, it is her automotive work that brings Lyn to Cars Yeah. Her expressive application and playful use of color and layers, sometimes using a knife to lay down the paint, results in conflict, inviting the viewer to look deeper into her pieces. Her automobiles draw you in to explore the shape, color, and emotion of the subject matter, whether they be a Cobra, Porsche, Mustang, or Lamborghini. Whatever you see in her art, be assured that it is an emotional impression through Lyn’s eyes.

INSPIRATIONAL QUOTE
In my paintings, I want the feeling of the car to come through more than the exact replication of the car.
CAREER & LIFE CHALLENGES
After an unexplained accident where white phosphorus exploded in her pocket and left her with burns requiring surgery, the story went viral and major news stations were calling for interviews. Instead of being focused on healing from her injuries, their lives became a circus of media attention.

After seeing Lynn’s work, we knew she was the artist to capture my dream car on canvas. Looking forward to hanging our piece in my Vancouver WA office.
I thoroughly enjoyed listening to Mark interviewing you. I love your artwork!!! You re the best!
Lyn is such a gifted artist and what makes her story even more fascinating is how she was called to do it; how she listened to the conviction in her heart to change her trajectory having no prior experience. So inspiring! Love everything about this woman, we need more of her around us all!
