In early November 2024, host Lynn Wyminga went to Amherstview to chat with abstract expressionist painter Gary Barnett and Lynn Barnett, who works in acrylics, inks, and collage. Gary shares his journey as an abstract expressionist, using innovative pouring techniques and even creating art on guitars. Lynn talks about her whimsical women paintings, and her love for collage and vibrant stencils. See some of their unique works below (click to view full images) and links below.
