The eldest of five children, Lynda Benglis was born into a Greek-American family and raised in Lake Charles, Louisiana. Her mother was the daughter of a preacher from Mississippi. Her father ran a business selling building materials, an early influence on her work: "I m a real fan of surfaces. My father ... had samples of colors and plastics and laminates and woods in his car. I was always very interested."http://www.theartstory.org/artist-benglis-lynda.htm
