Born
and educated in Toronto, Ontario, Lynn Soehner is an international
professional artist whose paintings in acrylic are recognized
for being graphically bolder with rich, exotic colors, offering
a kind of cadence or rhythm which evokes the “Spirit
of Place”.
Soehner’s work is frequently used on
products and in magazines to convey the “feeling”
of the location. Her work has been featured most recently
in Kauai Magazine, Summer Edition, 2003, a cover on the Kauai
Visitor Guide, October 2003, selected for the cover of Malie
Kai Chocolates, 2004-2007 (available in high end stores throughout
Hawaii and Continental USA), the cover of Poetry Canada, Spring
2005, article in Spirit of Aloha, May/June 2005, on the cover
of “The Future Looks Bright”, published 2006,
