ABOUT LYN & CONTACT INFORMATION

Lyn Belisle is an award-winning teacher, artist, designer and writer who

John Evett and Bill Bristow at Trinity University in San Antonio, Texas. She
taught art in public schools after graduation and was a finalist for Texas
Teacher of the Year for her work with at-risk students.

Lyn teaches mixed-media workshops at Lyn Belisle Studio in San Antonio
which she founded in January of 2013. She has also taught nationally in
Santa Fe, Boston, and Washington State, among other places

began a new series of PhotoEncaustic collages, two of which won

has authored two articles for Cloth Paper Scissors magazine as well as a
coloring book on the Folk Art of Mexico.

Riordan, lives there, and Lyn participates in the Beacon Hill Art Walk every
summer.
