CONTEMPORARY ABSTRACT ARTIST

A lifelong passion for art fueled by a deep sense of creativity – BFA Visual Communications, University of Kansas

At the core of Lynette Ubel’s being is a painter. She knew from her earliest days that she was destined to be an artist, so she fostered her creativity in a multitude of mediums and eventually chose a career in graphic design.

Having received a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Visual Communications from The University of Kansas, Lynette worked for the first five years with two different Kansas City-based advertising agencies. Feeling the “artrepreneurial” tug and a need for more creative freedom, she left the agency world in 1989 to form Ubel Design known today as Ubel Arts, LLC.

While Lynette’s 30+ year career has produced a versatile portfolio of award-winning photography and design, it is her calling as an abstract painter that is emerging in full, vibrant fashion today. Her artistic vision now manifests itself in contemporary abstract acrylic and mixed media paintings that feature an expressive style with remarkable depth, motion, and energy.

Every painting springs from her free flowing curiosity, taking viewers on an ever-evolving journey via pathways of color, line, and texture, through layers of atmoshphere. The inspired, ambiguous forms and trails in her paintings comprise a recognizable theme for people to see and interpret what they need to see in that moment in time.

Over the past ten years, Lynette’s art has been shown in numerous galleries, a one-woman museum exhibition, several solo exhibitions and many corporate offices. Her work is currently exhibiting at Strecker Nelson West fine art gallery, select galleries, and corporate exhibition spaces. TV producers placed paintings by Lynette on set for filming of the hit SHOWTIME series,“The Chi” and NBC TV series “Chicago Fire.” She has developed an impressive body of work for galleries and collectors while exploring various techniques and mediums in her studio.
