Lynn's
original training in the 1980s was in the conservation of prints and
drawings, which gave her a solid foundation in the traditional techniques
of the ‘old masters’ and an appreciation of quality materials.
This
was also the time that she experienced her first printmaking. After a
short time working at the British museum, followed by several years working in
animation, she found herself needing to explore her own creativity
and looking for an outlet for artistic expression.
Returning
to college to study for a BA in Fine art (1993-96) she found herself
gravitating towards printmaking. On graduating, she set up and established
Double Elephant Print Workshop (1997) with Simon Ripley.
Though her
work she strives to express something about the physicality of a landscape
and use it as metaphor for the vitality of change and renewal as well as a
comment on how we interact with the land. She frequently works in series.
The resulting images emerge from experimenting with different ways of combining
contradictory elements.
She has been
a Devon Guild of Craftsmen member since 2006 and also undertakes
editioning work for other artists.
