Through the use of mixed media including collage, paint, thread and tea leaves, Flynn intermingles spiritual and philosophical ideologies to create miniature, unique abstractions of outdoor settings. Flynn’s organic approach lends viewers an introspective look into her artistic development that she has described as a fundamental part of her pieces. “It is not only the investigation that truly excites me, but construction as well. To mend, piece together, patch, cobble, cure, cultivate where nothing was before is an integral part of my process.”

Flynn’s subject matter draws from her personal experiences and reveals her abiding interest in psychology and philosophy. Her pieces reflect a disillusioned and at times eerie environment constructed from small pieces that only loosely create a whole. These vacant settings of only one or two seemingly out of place objects form a surreal scene that might only exist in dreams. However fantastical these mineral toned terrains, they are representations of Flynn’s own imagination, or what she describes as “Removing myself from my current environment to enter a space where I have complete power…”

Born in 1980, Flynn studied Painting, Drawing and Ceramics at San Francisco State University where she earned a BFA in 2003. She is currently attending Parsons The New School where she plans to receive a MFA in Visual Arts in the spring of 2009. Flynn’s work has been showcased in various galleries in California and New York and was presented at the Art Fairs in Miami in 2007. Flynn has been published in the San Francisco Chronicle and Ethsix Magazine.
