As a native of Maine, Lincoln has spent most of his life amidst the neon of the Las Vegas Valley and the western deserts. This environment has molded a perspective that pulls the scale and spectrum of his surroundings into his current series of acrylic and mixed media abstracts, including his current "green" series, "Rhythms of the Earth". Architectural in scope, his work has evolved through ongoing explorations with various media and methods into a diverse catalog.

With many years spent in the theatrical industry working with the best in the trade, he continued to develop and build sets and effects for some of the most lavish and visual productions. In the course of this work, he has built an appreciation for design on an over sized scale.

Breaking from his earlier work in photography, pencil, and pen and ink, his more recent and his current series of paintings are textural studies in line, form, and light. Taken as a series, or individually, each piece mirrors the whole or a focused part of the objects, atmospheres, architecture, people, and the life that surrounds him.

“Art the result of life as the unfolded promise, as the glance behind the face of a moment or object. Art" Lincoln Maynard
