Lavendier Myers grew up on the New England coast, spending lengthy formative periods at Cape Cod, Vermont, Greece, the U.K. and Mexico. Myers is influenced by the psyche and colors of the aforementioned regions.
The paintings aspire to communicate a magic realism.
Some major influences are the writing of Gabriel Garcia Marquez, the paintings of ancient China, the music of Chopin and the ambiance of Maine island life.
Summers, Myers paints outdoors from direct observation. In colder weather the artist tends toward figurative, non-objective painting and collage construction. "Figure on Landscape" tends to be a dominant theme.
If not singing, Myers works in silence. When not painting, the artist can be found restoring old houses.
