In an interview withBored Panda, Lynn told us more about herself.“Regarding my background, I was born in St. Louis and spent much of my childhood drawing and painting. A love of visual arts runs in my family; my grandfather was an accomplished Chinese brush painter, and my father is also a painter. While I studied architecture in college, I always enjoyed painting and printmaking on the side,” shared Lynn.

Lynn also explained the essence of her approach to cartoons: “I mostly focus on creating single-panel gag cartoons for The New Yorker, enjoying the challenge of conveying a joke through just an image and a caption. It’s even more satisfying when I craft a humorous cartoon with just a drawing and no words at all.”
Creative processes differ from artist to artist, so we asked Lynn to share hers.“My creative process begins with freewriting about everyday experiences, which often inspire my observational cartoons. I also doodle in a sketchbook, which sometimes evolves into a visual idea or an absurd captionless drawing that stands on its own.”

Lastly, Lynn shared what she would like for audiences to take away from her cartoons.“I hope the reader gets a good laugh from my cartoons and finds a moment of joy in their day. It’s very rewarding when people tell me they relate to one of my cartoons. Knowing my work resonates with others' experiences inspires me to keep creating.”
