What’s Your Story, Lynn Samis? From art to resilience, painting life with faith, family, and courage
In this heartfelt and inspiring conversation, Lynn Samis takes us through a journey as colorful as her canvases. From raising four children across Oklahoma, California, Texas, and Mexico, to rediscovering her passion for painting later in life, Lynn’s story is about resilience, reinvention, and joy in the everyday. She opens up about homeschooling in Cabo, her lifelong love of art, navigating her mother’s Alzheimer’s, the strength of family, and even surviving a near-death experience that led to a pacemaker at 41. With humor, warmth, and wisdom, Lynn reminds us that life is a masterpiece—messy, beautiful, and worth celebrating.
