Originally a painter, Lynne is a maker who uses a rich and ever increasing palette of different materials ... everything and anything is used to make unique, 'one off' sculptural creations.
Organically driven and led by her materials .. Lynne is an alchemical maker ...
Directly influenced and excited by things unnoticed ... decay, peeling paint, rusting metal, colour, texture and pattern, she is inspired on a daily basis by erosion, the elements and hidden treasures ... things often discarded and overlooked.
'It is the emotional journey of making that is the most important part, everything else is secondary ... I love that there is hidden beauty within often unnoticed treasures, hidden works of art just waiting to be discovered. Discarded by man and shaped by the elements'

In 2017 a passion for organising and exhibiting prompted her to create the Art Jewellery collective 'Precious.Collective'.
Now with over 650 members worldwide and over 21.5k instagram followers this collective regularly exhibits both in the UK and internationally.

Art-Jewellery / Wearable Sculpture ...
Assemblages of found and gifted treasures sourced from boatyards, beaches, forests, towns, cities and gifted by friends.
The elements that I choose to work with have been found or gifted ... often recycled from un-ordinary or unexpected sources ...
The individual elements do not have a 'traditional' magnetism ...
They draw themselves together and find their partners
They attract each other
They know who they do and who they do not want to be beside
Their organisation is not controlled by me ...
The universe and the elements draw to and away from each other
They know who are the important 'others' that they have to be with
They know who they will best work together with and those that will cancel them out
Their magnetism is strong, it is elemental.
I am just the pair of hands that pick them up,
bring them to my space,
listen to them ...
and let myself be channeled through their magnetic elemental power.
