Lynn Colwell
Lynn is a Jill-of-all-trades and master-of-absolutely-nothing which is fine with her, out-of-the-box thinker who spent her working life trying to have as much fun as possible while getting paid for it.

Now retired, she started painting four years ago and gives away an original painting almost daily for a contribution to a non-profit. Over the last three years she’s raised more than $30,000 for charities around the world. And that’s not funny. Lynn’s Gallery: Lynn Colwell
