Meet LYNN

Since leaving art college with a degree in classical animation in 1993 Lynn has worked as an animator, illustrator, graphic designer and photographer. In 2017 she longed to get back to the hands-on art she had been doing in college and took up oil painting. As she had been a portrait photographer, it was a natural progression for her painting to follow the same direction.

Lynn’s paintings have been exhibited in the RHA and the RUA annual exhibitions, the Ruth Borchard self portrait prize, the Zurich portrait Prize and she also took part in the Sky Arts Portrait artist of the year in 2021.
