About this Exhibit:
For artist Lynda Parziale, creativity wasn’t born in the studio. It bloomed in unexpected corners of life; calligraphy ink pots, needlework, scientific labs, and eventually, swirling layers of acrylic paint. Her upcoming exhibit, AMBIGUITY, is a celebration of intuition, imagination, and the unpredictable beauty of letting go.
Lynda’s journey as a creative has always run alongside her professional life in science. Raised in England, she learned italic calligraphy instead of cursive as a child—a detail that led to years of freelance work creating invitations, announcements, and teaching handwriting. Her academic career focused on chemistry, biology, physics, and nuclear medicine research at institutions including the University of Toronto, Stanford, Oregon, and UC Davis. More recently, acrylic pour became her primary creative outlet.
“It started as a hobby, and then just… flourished,” she says. With each pour, Lynda embraced the freedom that comes with surrendering control. “Paint has a mind of its own,” she explains. “You can’t reproduce the same effect twice, each piece is completely original.” What began as experimentation quickly transformed into expression. The fluidity of the medium mirrors her own evolving artistic journey. Unpredictable, yet full of discovery.
The theme of AMBIGUITY reflects this openness. Lynda hopes viewers will engage with her work through the lenses of their own memories, emotions, and imaginations. “It’s surprising what people see. A child’s mind interprets a piece completely differently from a parent or grandparent. That’s what excites me, it’s art without restriction.”
Her connection to this work is deeply personal. Entering her 80th year, Lynda considers each creation a kind of gift, first to herself, and hopefully to others. Acrylic pouring, for her, exists in two dimensions: the mindful, meditative act of making, and the reflective experience of seeing something familiar or new in the finished piece. “It brings imagination and memories flooding back,” she notes. “And that’s what I want to share.”
AMBIGUITY will be on view at the Stephenson House Gallery from September 5-27, 2025
