Creatively Thinking With Carolyn Botelho
Join Carolyn Botelho as she goes beneath the surface with local Creative Professionals on their practice, inspiration, and perspectives. Carolyn pulls you underneath the fabric of their creativity, where we discover how their genius of communicating in the Arts transforms, and translates into spectacular reality. What does their medium say about them?
What do they think of originality? Authenticity? In what moment of their creativity does their true passion sit? Is it in the imagination stage? Conceptualization? Or the Gallery or Stage? What are their feelings on Abstraction? Realism? Where are they seeing their career taking them in the next ten years? Do they have any political or social agendas with their Art?
Currently we are working on the Second Season where we go further into how Creative Professionals are incorporating their practice into mainstream society. How is their understanding of and practice pushing boundaries and developing their skills? How does the business side of being an Artist change being an Artist? Second season will be released soon!
Creatively Thinking With Carolyn Botelho
Episode#8 Lynden Cowan: Wooden Canvas + Gifted Palettes
Being a self taught Artist Lynden Cowan meticulously creates wild landscapes with highly detailed scenes. Finding solitary amusement as a child Lynden used scrap wood as canvas; making her own paints from dandelions, berries and vegetables. By the grace of teachers gifting her supplies - as kitchen pots were no longer suitable, her talent blossomed.
Growing up in Brampton, Cowan returned to painting during a time of family sorrow. Fashioning her style after her memories of Nova Scotia where she was born, maturing every Summer by spending it with her Grandmother in a rural atmosphere. This idyllic setting was the perfect opportunity for Lynden to hone her craft.
To develop her style in both landscape and architectural subjects. As well as be a true entrepreneur starting her own Art school at the age of 16. Where did she gather the courage to start these amazing projects? Was teaching in her background? Was the gifts of art supplies the incentive to share her new skills with her students? Was her incentive ultimately the breathtaking landscape from her home on the East Coast?
