Scratchboard

Lynn Kibbe

 

 

 

 

              

 

Lynn moved with her parents from California to Pennsylvania when she was a toddler….even though she traveled the world with the Air Force she and her husband cam back to central Pennsylvania when he retired from the military.

 

     Retirement for Lynn is years away….the self taught artist excels at scratchboard.  Lynn uses numerous tools to scratch the black India ink layer and expose the white clay layer underneath.  The tools range from the tips of pins and needles to an xacto knife.  In order to  add color to her work, she adds paint to enhance the detailed imagery.

 

      All of her work is first captured with a camera, then sketched by Lynn and eventually framed by her hand.  Each piece is original work.  More of her work can be found on her website at www.fmsscratchboard.weebly.com
