Writer. Arts afficionado. Compulsive blogger. Lynn Trimble rocks her writing vibe from a kitchen table in Scottsdale, Arizona — breaking often to explore all sorts of arts and culture. Think dance, music, theater, film, literature and visual arts. Also museums, libraries and other things that strike her fancy.
“Stage Mom Musings” are Lynn’s reflections on the world within and around her. All posit a single premise — everything is art and art is everything. Lynn first mused as “Stage Mom” for Raising Arizona Kids, where you can still enjoy many of her writings today.
Lynn is the proud mom of three grown children whose lives have been enriched by time with art and the folks who create it. Lynn started blogging while daughter Lizabeth was doing her theater thing. Hence the “Stage Mom” handle.
Nowadays Lynn continues to explore the local arts scene – plus arts and culture discovered while traveling to NYC and other parts. Lynn’s musings mix reflections on her own arts experiences, memories of days spent in “Stage Mom” mode, and insights shared by diverse artists of all ages and stages.
“Stage Mom” for Raising Arizona Kids was honored with two 2012 Arizona Press Club awards for non-metro writing – first place for feature blogs and second place for arts criticism. Lynn’s feature writing has earned national and state awards.
Thanks far and wide to folks who read the work — and everyone sharing the wonders of art in their own little pocket of the planet.

Stilt walkers from the Taylor Circus performing at a Mesa Arts Center festival
