The
creation of something new is not accomplished by the intellect but by
the play instinct acting from inner necessity.
The creative mind plays with the objects it loves.
-Carl Jung

Lahn has an educational
background in visual arts and religious studies.
Lahn’s art is
inspired by what she sees in the natural world with its expressive
qualities and how it evokes varied emotional responses.
Creative process is a form of meditation that allows her to
approach each piece with intuition and discovery.
Her artwork evokes lyrical and contemplative feelings manifesting
externally what is experienced internally.
By incorporating natural materials into her paintings, the pieces
are very tactile resulting in compelling physical presence.
Her understanding of the creative work is essentially that it
grows and evolves as she does as a human being.
When
the soul wishes to experience something she throws an image of the
experience out before her and enters into her own image.
-Meister
Eckhart
