Lynn Bordignon-Snyder is inspired by the simplicity of children. From her first job at age 16 as a children's' photographer, Lynn has always had a love for children as well as art.

Born in Chatham, Illinois, Lynn was raised in a family of aspiring artists. Her and her four brothers, two now nationally known wildlife artists, Greg and Mark, would color and draw for hours. She says, "Ever since I can remember I would set at the kitchen or dining room table coloring with my brothers. I think I was born with a coffee can full of crayons in front of me." Lynn attended the Colorado Institute of Art studying commercial art. She has been in the publishing and advertising business for the past twenty years and is currently a designer for an electronics company.

Lynn plans soon to leave designing behind to be a full time painter, wife, and mother. She credits her husband Bruce, daughter Alexa, brothers, and family for her inspiration and support.

"Children evoke our sweetest memories. Everyone can identify with them. We've all been one. And with grace we'll all be one again."
