The Gibson with Dave Curley, became the third in a series of oil paintings of musicians Lyn Boyer had been working on. It also became a segue to the art and music collaboration of painter Lyn Boyer and musician and songwriter Dave Curley.
Having a background as an editorial illustrator, Lyn’s passion as a painter is that of a storyteller. The intent, to evoke a feeling, a moment in time. Dave’s remarkable talent as a powerful lyricist and musician felt like the perfect counterpart.
In 2020 Dave and Lyn will be collaborating on multiple projects they hope will open a window into the creative process for both artists and art lovers.
Lyn Boyer, a signature member of Oil Painters of America and the Laguna Plein Air Painters, is a plein air and studio oil painter. Having received both a Collectors Choice and Best of Show at the Grand Canyon Celebration of Art, and a bronze medal from the Oil Painters of America among other honors, she continues to paint with her heart — for the love of it. Lyn also writes for the Oil Painters of America.
Dave Curley, a multi-instrumentalist, songwriter from Corofin, Co. Galway, has made big waves in the Irish music scene in Ireland, Europe and the USA. He’s performed with multiple Grammy Award winners and ‘Instrumental band of the Decade’ The Brock McGuire Band. His record, ‘A Brand New Day’, showcases his vocals and writing style – a contemporary sensibility rooted in tradition.
