Influenced by Gordon Smith’s teachings, and the evolving tessellations of M.C. Escher, Lynn Kenneth Pecknold creates mystifying and mesmerizing symmetries both painterly and puzzling. His most recent work deals in digital realms. Using software he designed with a former student, Pecknold applies the principles of reflection and replication to drawings, paintings and photographs. In his work, mirrored and fractal shapes and his pieces reveal unexpected new figures when these duplicate and opposite reflections take form. Born in Victoria, BC, Pecknold took an early interest in art. At UBC he discovered his own artistic language. After graduating with a degree in art education, he went on to show at local Galleries and in New York, where he also attended Pratt Institute. In 1969, he became an art educator and since has acquired over 35 years of teaching experience. He resides on Vancouver Island with his wife, Sandra. He retired in 2007 to continue to follow his dream – creating art.
