Girl Talk
By Lynda Coleman


Austin, TX - Lynda Coleman is a professional Visual Artist, she has been painting for over twenty years, and has been a professional artist for the past nine years. She’s created designs, images and paintings by using different mediums such as acrylics, watercolors, colored pencils, oil pastels and some airbrush in her work. She also has experience in painting murals and images on Windows 95, as well as portraits and face paintings for children.

Ms. Coleman has been blessed by being able to do community projects, such as exhibits, murals and displays in schools, churches, local businesses and art shows from 1988 until the present, and wants her work to be a blessing. She volunteers her time to help with special education children and troubled youth with their art projects and basic techniques, impacting their lives and sharing my art experience with them.
She graduated from LBJ High School in 1992, has worked for the City of Austin, Parks and Recreation Department for several years, working with children of all ages. She has worked at the Alamo Recreation Center as an Activity Specialist, working the After-school programs and the Summer Day Camp and the teen programs.
Ms. Coleman is a member of Littig Outreach Mission Church, where she is an Evangelist under the Pastoral Overseer Willie Mae Simmons.
It is my desire to do my work full-time, by art shows, consignments, and my website. My art minister love, peace, healing and joy to hurting souls. My art speaks life and hope, so I will always paint spiritual, nostalgic and encouraging themes to continue to break barriers of separation.

God has truly blessed me with the ability to capture the thoughts of others, the prayers, visions, pain and dreams. It is my desire to continue to touch people’s lives, to remind them that they are loved by Christ. My art is greater than I could imagine.
