Hidden Talent, Lasting Impressions

Many know Lynn Black as the driving force behind the Vendor Guide supplier directory and a trusted professional with more than 35 years of experience in and around the property management industry. What may be less known is that she brings that same passion, dedication, and creativity to another facet of her life—her work as an accomplished artist.

A graduate of the Massachusetts College of Art, Lynn has spent years cultivating her artistic talent. While her professional career has focused on building connections and supporting the multifamily industry, her creative work offers a more personal expression of her attention to detail and appreciation for meaningful moments.

A Heart for Pets and Their Stories
One of the most defining aspects of Lynn’s artistic journey is her commitment to painting pet portraits. For many years, she has volunteered her time and talent with the Richmond Animal League, creating custom pieces for patrons and supporters.

Her connection to this work runs deep. As a devoted advocate for rescue animals—and a proud owner of several rescue dogs herself—Lynn understands the powerful bond between pets and their families. Each portrait becomes more than just a painting; it is a tribute to companionship, loyalty, and unconditional love.

Through this work, Lynn has continually refined her technique, bringing each animal’s personality to life on canvas. Her preferred medium is acrylic, though she is equally skilled in watercolor, pen and ink, and mixed media. Regardless of the medium, her goal remains the same: to authentically capture the spirit and emotion behind every subject she paints.

Turning Memories Into Lasting Art
Lynn’s artistic offerings extend beyond pet portraits. She also specializes in transforming meaningful moments into custom works of art. Whether it’s a favorite vacation photo, a milestone celebration, or a candid memory saved on a phone, Lynn can reimagine it as a timeless piece of wall art.

Each commissioned piece is a collaborative process. Lynn works closely with clients to determine canvas size, color palette, and overall vision—ensuring the final artwork not only reflects the subject but also complements the space where it will be displayed.

Thoughtful, Personalized Gifts
Custom artwork from Art by Lynn offers a meaningful and memorable gift option. Whether celebrating a joyful occasion or honoring a cherished memory, a personalized painting provides a level of thoughtfulness few gifts can match.

Popular occasions for commissioned pieces include:

• Holiday gifts

• Birthdays

• Anniversaries

• “Rainbow Bridge” portraits honoring a beloved pet

Each piece is created with care, intention, and a deep understanding of the emotions behind the request.

Bringing Art Within Reach
Many assume that owning custom artwork is complicated or out of reach, but Lynn makes the process simple and approachable. From the initial consultation to final delivery, she ensures a smooth, enjoyable experience that results in a one-of-a-kind piece to be treasured for years to come.

For those looking to celebrate a special moment, honor a beloved pet, or bring more meaningful art into their home, Lynn Black’s work offers a unique and heartfelt option. To see more of her creations and stay connected, follow her on Facebook and explore the world of Art by Lynn.
