“I’m not sure I ever thought about being - or not being - an artist. I’ve had pencil and paper in hand since I was 5. I grew up with a great park system in Stratford, Ontario, which fostered my comfort in and love and respect for nature, trees especially.
After art school in Toronto, I made it a mission to see my country from coast to coast. I have been growing my painting language ever since. Each painting starts as a sketch, outdoors and on-site, before taking to canvas in my studio. The painting colours tend toward a rich and earthy palette. If I can translate to others this sense of awe and peace that I find in nature, that is one reason I paint." Lynne studied at the University of Toronto and Sheridan College and has painted landscapes from coast to coast in Canada. She has exhibited in various Canadian cities and has 3 public art awards. Her work has been on stages for orchestral performances, accompanied theatrical productions, and illustrated children’s tales. She has pieces in private collections across Canada, and around the world. And looks forward to painting many, many, many more Canadian trees. |
