"Art is a way of Life - it gets under your skin. The way I see the world, my life, stories and surroundings goes into all my paintings."

Lynne’s artwork delves into the beauty of nature, the cycles of life and the evolving concept of home and being a care-taker of land.

With a career spanning over 25 years as a full time artist, she has had over 100 exhibitions, had numerous artist residences, studios, taught students, mentored artists and sells just about everything she makes throughout New Zealand and internationally.

You can find her covered in paint tucked away in her Seatoun studio mostly working on commissioned paintings.

Lynne has had a strong influence on the NZ Art Show, contributing in many capacities over the years—from being on the Board, to a selector, and as a judge. Her dedication to supporting fellow artists truly shows her deep love for the art world and its community.

She pushes the boundaries of scale with her floor-to-ceiling loose canvas paintings or smaller heavily impasto delicious oil paintings and then lights up the room with her bold light boxes.

She’s a maker, curator and collector with an insatiable appetite and curiosity for art in all its glorious forms.

Her powerful perspective on home, heritage and being the land’s care-takers makes her a truly unique voice in the art world.
