Lyn Drennan, Artist
I hope you enjoy some of my artistic creations, including Derby Chicks and Derby Ducks, whimsical animals, and some of my most recent work–collage pieces.
Derby Chick Greeting Cards
These unique Derby Chick greeting cards come in several different characters.
I have been fortunate to collaborate with world-famous milliner, Jenny Pfanenstiel of Forme Millinery Hat Shop, the official milliner of the Kentucky Derby Museum. Most of my feathered gals wear one of Jenny’s lovely designs.
Each chick and duck has its own name, personality, and style to go with their fancy derby hats. These sassy Derby darlings have been featured in Derby Magazine and can be found in many galleries and shops.
Some like to step out in their finest bling–decked out in pearls and diamonds. Others prefer a more reserved look. No matter which style they favor, they are all quite classy and chic. They all share a love of color and the iconic fashion of the Kentucky Derby and the wonderful culture surrounding Derby Day.
Whimsical Animals
I enjoy capturing the whimsical character of an animal. I prefer letting my animals speak for themselves, setting them against simple, minimal backgrounds. My favorite aspect of capturing an animal's personality is getting the eyes just right.
As a child I had a love for animals of all types and I have maintained my affection for animals, which makes it fun and inspiring to create animal art.
So many animals display fun and whimsy. I enjoy capturing these characteristics in many of my paintings.
