Lynette Mager studied Photography and Art Therapy at the University of the Arts Philadelphia where she received her BFA. She lives and works in Philadelphia. "My studies and brief work in art therapy have greatly influenced my attitude towards the work I create. I will embark on a project with a conscious intent, knowing the work will take on a life of its own and the larger meaning of the work will become apparent after completion. Creativity is not a wholly conscious endeavor, art is not a vehicle to aggrandize the artist's personal psychology, but rather the artist is a vehicle to interpret larger cultural, spiritual or philosophical questions."
"Black Face" 2002
"White Goggles"

She doesn't say much about her work. I agree that a viewer can get what they wish from a piece but... I feel like the work could be racially charged. I wonder if she is aware of what some of it looks like.
