In 2021, Lynn Sweat, Lamar alumn and early supporter and collaborator of The Art Studio, Inc. has gifted dozens of works to help Raise the Roof at TASI. Each painting sold donates a percentage to TASI’s “Raise the Roof” Fundraiser.
Lynn Sweat, fine art painter and commercial artist, is most widely known for his illustrations of the children’s book series, Amelia Bedelia, for over 30 years. Sweat grew up in Southeast Texas and his artistic ability was fostered at an early age by the local art community.
Fifty percent of each purchase of a Lynn Sweat painting from TASI goes towards roof improvements. Sweat’s art donations have helped TASI reach its first year goal along with donations of dozens of local artists and the generous support of the Estate of DJ Kava and the EDAREN Foundation.
There is a sense of mystery and implied narrative in Sweat’s paintings. His characters and settings can conjure more questions than they give answers. The light layers of paint add up slowly, building intrigue
In addition to the “Light Layers” painting series, there are also a number of drawings on paper available in the collections. All paintings are framed and any artwork purchased can be shipped directly to you. View the complete collection online HERE or make an appointment to come in and view in person.
