Lynette Seiter is a native of Salt Lake City, Utah and now resides in Murray, UT.  Lynette started painting at the age of 12, when she received an art kit for Christmas.    She didn’t realize that she had a special talent for art until when in 9th grade she took an art class because she had a back operation and couldn’t take PE for one semester.  The day that she had to check out of the art class and go back to PE, her art teacher said, “Do you want to see a grown man cry?”

She did a little painting, some sketching and working with pastels on her own while in High School.  She attended Brigham Young University.  After graduating with a degree in Child Development, she went back to BYU and studied Oil Painting.

She put the paints away for the next twenty years while she raised nine children.  When her last child was 4, she started painting again.

Her art studies include:

Oil Painting at Brigham Young University.
Community Education course in the Old Masters Style
Master Art Diploma from ICS
Plein Air Painting with Armand Cabrera

She enters juried shows occasionally. Some awards include:
“City by the Sea”, Honorable Mention, Ocean Shores Art Festival
“Salt Lake City 2002”, People’s Choice Award, Steel Days Art Show
Purchase Award Wasatch Plein Air Paradise 2008                                                     

She enjoys painting a variety of subjects.  She has done portraits of her children and some commissioned portraits, landscapes of places she has been, or would liked to have been and interesting buildings.  She paints mostly in the realistic style and paints mainly from photographs she takes herself.
