Lynda Abare is a creative catalyst; an accomplished artist and teacher in a variety of media including Kumihimo, chainmaille, hand-bound journals, mixed media, and Repujado. She is a Juried Artist and active member of the Sonoran Arts League in Cave Creek, and a member of Ground Floor Artists in Surprise, Arizona.

In 2005, Lynda was certified as a Repujado artist and teacher by MercArt USA. If you are unfamiliar with the art form, you are in for a treat! Repujado (pronounced ray-poo-ha-though) is the fine art of metal embossing.

Locally, Lynda has taught and exhibited at ART Unraveled, an annual mixed-media art retreat held in Phoenix, Arizona as well as the Hidden in the Hills Artist Studio Tour, an annual event in Cave Creek, Arizona. You can visit her in November at Robin’s Nest Studio on Surrey Drive in Cave Creek - just off Cave Creek Road, approximately 1 mile north of Carefree Hwy.

For several years Lynda took her love for metal embossing and the paper arts "on the road". John C. Campbell Folk School in Brasstown, North Carolina quickly became one of her favorite places to teach and attend classes.

Lynda teaches a variety of classes locally in North Scottsdale at the Holland Community Center, private studios, and occasional classes in Phoenix, Flagstaff, and Tucson. Check Lynda’s teaching schedule HERE.
