Lurlynn Franklin is an artist born and raised in Memphis. She is a writer, painter, and teacher with Memphis City Schools.

Lurlynn's work is organic by nature - on several levels. Choosing to blend her writings with her paintings, she begins each piece by choosing the title, and letting the work evolve from there. Often her paintings are accompanied by short stories, combining the two mediums seamlessly together. Lurlynn also chooses to work with many non-traditional materials, using rolls of fabric, wallpaper, or even bits of clothing.

Lurlynn has participated in solo and group shows all over the country. In Memphis, her series "Cross Words / Quick Chick Fixe$" and "Fabled Truths: Self-portraits & Works in Progress" both opened at the Beverly and Sam Ross Gallery at Christian Brothers University. Her work has received many recognitions and awards from various groups including The Bodine Company and the Tennessee Arts Commission. In 2000 Lurlynn was chosen to paint the Memphis in May Festival Poster.

A recipient of an MFA in Painting from Memphis College of Art, Lurlynn Franklin is currently an art educator at Lincoln Elementary School and is compiling a new series of works.
