Lynn Hutchins Haney, Fine Artist
Welcome, and thank you for visiting!
My artwork includes figurative works; florals & still life (oil paintings as well as charcoal & pencil drawings of flowers, fruit, etc.); Southern historical art (charcoal & pencil drawings related to plantation scenes & portraits of Confederate soldiers, officers, & ancestors); & more.
I am also a portrait artist; I draw & paint portraits of babies, children, brides, adults, and pets.
I use charcoal, pencil/graphite, conte crayon, ink, & pastel on paper (for drawings), as well as oil on canvas or linen (for paintings).
My style could be variously described as chiaroscuro, expressionistic, impressionistic, classical, realistic, or representational.
Commercial Building
My work has been exhibited in juried, solo, and group shows in North Carolina, as well as being held in private collections throughout the U.S.
During 1994-1995 and 1998-2000, I founded and ran an art center in the historic Commercial Building (pictured at left) in downtown Gastonia, NC, where I also had my studio. I leased out studio space to artists and held big exhibits for regional artists.
I did not begin drawing until college. I hold a B.A. in studio art from Wake Forest University, NC, in addition to having completed post-baccalaureate and graduate-level courses.
Comments on my artwork are most welcome. I would love to hear from you!

…but yet I did not think
To shew to all this World my Pen and Ink
In such a mode; I only thought to make
I knew not what: nor did I undertake
Thereby to please my Neighbor; no not I;
I did it mine own self to gratifie.Neither did I but vacant seasons spend
In this my Scribble; nor did I intend
But to divert myself in doing this
From worser thoughts which make me do amiss.Thus I set Pen to Paper with delight,
And quickly had my thoughts in black and white.
For having now my Method by the end,
Still as I pull’d, it came; and so I penn’d
It down, until it came at last to be
For length and breadth the bigness which you see.–John Bunyan (1628-1688), from “The Author’s Apology for His
Book,” in The Pilgram’s Progress
