Lynn Sisler received her MFA at Maine College of Art, Portland, ME in 2021 and completed a
BFA in painting with a minor in Art History from Northern Illinois University in 1991. Her MFA thesis and accompanying exhibition, Entangled: Envisioning Ecocentrism through Visual Narratives, was shown at the ICA Gallery in Portland. Sisler received the prestigious Hildreth Family MFA Scholar Award and the Hale Residency at the Artist Association of Nantucket. She was a professor at Kennesaw State University and has shown work at KSU's Zuckerman Museum.

Lynn Sisler works predominantly in painting and clay sculptures, often foraging natural
materials as reference or to directly imprint into the work. Her studio practices and imagery evoke an ethereal space and imagined ecology. She intentionally creates multiple viewpoints, perspectives, and a chaotic painting language to re-envision different ways of seeing and pondering alternative realities. Visual Gaia stories feature animals, plants, and humans, often blended as one entity, in a magical, folkloric construct. Sisler's work strives to create thoughtful
consciousness about life and death cycles, humans' relationship to the earth, and the inter-connectedness within all species.
