Lynne Speake; a very mixed media & at times .. a very abstract artist ...
Lynne Speake is a multi disciplinary artist living and working in Cornwall.
She combines sculpture, ceramics, photography, written word, painting and installation.
Her work is always organically driven by her materials
Originally a painter Lynne has a passion for colour, texture, pattern. She is fascinated and inspired on a daily basis by the peeling paint and the rusting metal that she finds all around her and especially when out walking her three rescue collies.
'I love that there is a hidden beauty within these often unnoticed treasures
hidden works of art just waiting to be discovered.
Discarded by man and shaped by mother nature's elements'
Lynne left London and ten years of teaching in 2007 to complete a MA (distinction) at Falmouth University.

Lynne's main focus at the moment is her investigation of, and experimentation with, porcelain paperClay.
It offers her not only a way to create sculptural pieces but also to once again connect with her painting practice,
only now upon a three dimensional surface.
Along with her ceramics range Lynne also creates large Art-Jewellery / Wearable Sculpture ...
Assemblages of found and gifted treasures sourced from Cornish boatyards, beaches and forests. View Lynne’s artwork collections here.
'Alongside my poetic ramblings that often accompany these creations
I aim to gently invite people to think about the environmental impact of what they discard'

Lynne always works organically letting the materials that she selects guide her to her final form.
Throughout her art career Lynne has constantly both experimented with and investigated different materials and ways of working.
Finally the result of these different experiments have culminated into a practice that encompasses many media alongside found elements.
These objects and glimpses of unnoticed places form the basis for each piece's organic journey.
