Lynwood's interest in art began early. As a youngster growing up in the Austin area, he was constantly drawing and was considered to be the "class artist". Although he didn't pursue fine art until later in life, he was inspired, no doubt, by the countryside in which he was raised. His education encompasses four years of industrial arts at Southwest Texas State University, two years at the Texas Tech University school of Architecture and two years studying Advertising Art Design at San Antonio College. While his choosen profession was graphic arts, including Bennett Graphics Design Studio in Dallas that served him well for many years, it was fine art that was his true passion Site
