Step into a realm where the boundaries between painting and photography blur, merging into a captivating tapestry of visual storytelling. "Fusion of Light and Brush" showcases the artistry of Lonnie Broden who harnesses both the brush and the camera to explore new dimensions of expression.

Beginning with an outdoor scene Broden both paints an impressionistic style artwork and simultaneously photographs the setting. 

Back in her studio, she combines these two ideas in an innovative approach. Witness the synergy of two art forms as they intertwine seamlessly, offering a fresh perspective on traditional and contemporary themes alike. She blends realism and imagination resulting with pieces that invite you to delve deeper into the creative process.
