"A New Beginning" 54" x 40" 1999
By Lynn D.
n
November 1996, Lynn D. was diagnosed with Myasthenia
Gravis, an autoimmune muscular disorder. She was deeply
depressed when admitted to Northeast Center for Special
Care in late March, 1999. Her former life of glitz and
glamour, touring the world as a four-time world bridge
champion, seemed a distant past.
Gradually she became immersed in painting, displayed a
keen interest in experimentation. There was rekindled a
sense of urgency as Lynn uninhibitedly mounted assaults
on canvases, always knowing she could figure out
resolutions to the artistic conflicts she had conjured.
This intense process enabled her to produce engaging
works of art while stimulating her mind.
Lynn's largest painting, "A New Beginning," is
a testament to her psychological renewal as well as a
metaphor for all the new artists who were developing at
Northeast Center for Special Care. Lynn was discharged from Northeast
Center in late May, 1999.
She has resumed the professional bridge circuit, having
already won two major tournaments.
