Twin Original Painting From Huckabee Show to Be Auctioned for the NAMM Foundation's Wanna Play Fund

The NAMM Foundation's Wanna Play Fund will again be the beneficiary of a donation from former Gov.Mike Huckabee and the Huckabee program on FOX as identical twin brothers, Terry and Jerry Lynn, will produce an original painting during the show this weekend that will be auctioned on eBay to benefit the Fund.

The brothers paint collaboratively under the pseudonym “Twin." and they have gained notoriety because they often work on a piece at the same time, seamlessly merging their styles techniques and contribution to create a fully realized work that bears no evidence of having been the work of two artists. The artists were born and still live in a suburb outside of Memphis,TN. They were encouraged and supported early on in their love of art by their parents and later attended the University of Memphis. They acknowledge various influences on their work but a dominant one is the vibrant blues and jazz scene of Beale Street in their native city, Memphis. A southern flavor flows through much of their work, yet their abstract paintings have a markedly modern and cosmopolitan flair. The twins and their work have been featured in publications and on television and they have exhibited in galleries across the U.S. Other credits include official artist of the 1988 Essence Music Awards in New York City, and artist for the official poster for the 1997 Philadelphia Art Expo.

"We continue to be grateful for the ongoing support shown by Gov. Mike Huckabee and FOX towards the NAMM Foundation's Wanna Play Fund," said Mary Luehrsen, executive director of the NAMM Foundation. "Terry and Jerry Lynns' work reminds us of the power of music and the arts to create beauty and inspire each other to do great things in this world."

The Twin episode of Huckabee runs this weekend on FOX News.  Check your local listings for air dates/times.
