About Me

Hi, I’m Lynn

I’m an Oxfordshire-based artist and maker working from my summerhouse studio at the bottom of the garden.

I specialise in mixed media, found objects and textiles and often incorporate free machine embroidery somewhere along the line.  I am fascinated with layers and textures and the way different mediums can be combined, often with surprising results.

HOW I Work

I never quite know how my work will turn out so I allow it to develop organically.  Most of my pieces are slightly wonky and quirky and I like nothing better than to find or reuse something and turn it into something else. I often cut up old work to make something new. I have learnt to be brave and curious and my favourite question is ‘I wonder what will happen if…?’

MY INSPIRATIONS

I find myself inspired by so many things including the natural world and historical artefacts. I am always drawn to patterns, layers and textures finding them in the ordinary e.g. drain covers, bark of a tree and shadows. I have a particular fondness for swifts and many of my pieces have a little swift hiding somewhere.
