Miss March

This month I have the honor of being the featured artist at "House of Faux"
a website dedicated to providing resources for decorative painters and faux finishes. The site is building up an archive of articles, blog entries, artist profiles, and information useful to the student as well as the professional painter.

Lynne Rutter Murals & Decorative Painting

Miss July

I'm featured as July's "Artist of the Month" over at LearntoFaux.com, a website providing educational resources and social networking for the decorative painting obsessed.

Check out the bio they posted for me, as well as their other features, such the ArtSpace: a myspace-styled profile for decorative artists, attached to the popular and informative Faux Forum.

How to attract paparazzi...

1. show up late
2. wear a turban
(also handy to cover that sweaty "i just worked all day" hair)
3. pick up flute of champagne on the way in, completely ignoring the bank of photographers that are by now following you
4. hook arms with the tallest, best looking guy you can find: in this case, Rob Delameter of Lost Art Salon

Here is my exceedingly rare appearance on the society page
"signature look" translation = "we don't get it"

Pow-Wow Network interviews Lynne

I've met so many wonderful women in the design business, through San Francisco's Pow-Wow Network.
In March 20o6, they published this interview of me
with pictures, and intimate details....

Hearts in San Francisco

Here/Not Here
This giant fiberglass heart was painted by Lynne Rutter as part of the Hearts in San Francisco project. The two faces represent the moment just before and after death, and reflects on the loss of a close friend to AIDS.

This piece has been sold via auction to an anonymous collector. The money raised from this project benefits San Francisco General Hospital.

These pictures were taken at Crissy Field in July, 2004.
The heart also enjoyed some time in Civic Center Plaza during the summer.
