A self-taught artist, Lynn Di Nino works in a variety of media, often in collaboration with other artists.[2] Raised by a single mother of five who worked as a waitress, she collected many throw-aways in order to create her art projects.[3] Lynn became a full-time artist after a recession lay-off at Seattle Mental Health where she worked as a recreational therapist.[4] She is known for her whimsical animal sculpture with a welded steel skeleton created from fabric or concrete, often incorporating found objects.[5] She also works with recycled materials on projects involving social and political observations.[6]
Workedit
Examples of her work include:
Chalkboard chicken in 1993, which became a business selling molded concrete art objects. Sold business in 2001.[7]
Created the armatures used by seven other artists to create the Fremont Solstice Parade and Earth Day Ice Queen Costumes in 2009.[8]
Burnham & Root Uprooted assemblage sculptural work memorializing the demolished Luzon Building.[9]
