PROFILE
Lynden Saint Victor
is a rarity among acclaimed artists - he never studied art. In keeping
with a New Year's resolution to expand his horizons, Saint Victor
dipped into his first oil paints on January 1, 2002 and began to make
pictures that spoke volumes.
In 2003, the first formal
presentation of his work resulted in a sold out show, including thirty-five
additional Paint to Order originals, media coverage, multiple gallery
offers and a publishing contract.
Saint Victor's works have
a uniquely definitive look and feel. Masterfully melding the real
and surreal, his bold and beautiful characters grace the walls of
some of the most majestic estates as well as the humble abodes of
those who have likewise been moved by the brooding sensuality of these
works of art, each a virtual novel unto itself.
Saint Victor is aslo an
internationally syndicated cartoonist under another name. His daily
comic panel, Pardon My Planet, is published by King Features Syndicate
and distributed to over 150 daily newspapers throughout the United
States and Canada.
An animal activist, Saint
Victor donates a percentage of each sale to Underdog Rescue for the
rescue and rehabilitation of "death row" shelter dogs.
