meet the "Reclamation Artist" in store!

Steve Lynman grew up in Greensboro, NC, attended Appalachin State University, where he met his bride, Paula Stewart Lynman, a native of Morehead City and Wilson, NC. Steve graduated from UNC-CH and he and Paula have lived in Washington, DC, Cape Town, South Africa and Denver, Colorado, always to move back home to North Carolina, their favorite place in the world.


Steve's interest grew in collecting old turn of the century tin ceiling as he ran across it in architectural salvage places during his travels. The unique patterns, textures, and colors of the original tins captured his imagination and motivated him to start reclaiming these artifacts for reuse in home and garden furnishings. The nature of Steve's life, work, and art is essentially to see beyond the presenting externals, that many may disregard, in order to grow that vision of worth and value into something of beauty and purpose. When asked what he does, "reclamation artist" is what he aspires to be.

Come meet Steve and see his beautiful work Saturday, April 29 at Nofo at the Pig in Raleigh from 11-2.
