Lynn (Kristin)'s Bio

Lynn Wood (stage name), Kristin Woodworth-Owen (legal & pen name), was born Kristin Woodworth on May 31, 1979 (43) in Daytona Beach, FL to Bruce Woodworth; an artist and writer who served in the Navy during Vietnam, and Pamela Silva-Woodworth; a wood sculptor and poet.

Kristin became a notable child artist in primary school, attending many local art shows alongside her mother, catching the attention of local news outlets.

As a teenager, Kristin attended high school with a focus in video production, art, and theater acting. She once again gained local media attention when she created and edited together the first full-length cartoon ever made by a high school student. 

In college she majored in art, video production, and community theater, participating in many productions, not only as a set designer, but as an actress, flexing her wide-ranging creative skills. 

Kristin is an accomplished poet with several award-winning published works. She is also a photographer, and in 2000 was inducted into The Photography Laureates Hall of Fame for a sepia-tone photograph of a St. Augustine church entitled 'Crossing Over.' 

In 2021 during the COVID lockdowns Kristin wrote and illustrated a 53-page horse cartoon book entitled 'The Grass Is Always Greener... a collection of Kirby & Clyde cartoons.' Her book quickly gained popularity among the equestrian crowd, including some in the film industry who took notice of Kristin's unique humor and artistic skills. 

The same year, she found the original 10 pages of the western screenplay she had begun penning 17 years earlier. After a few months 'Canyon of the Damned,' a story of a strong-willed female posse leader, was complete. 

It is Kristin's hope that through her hard work and determination, she will inspire other women, busy mothers in particular, to follow their dreams, no matter how far-fetched they may seem.
