Lynne Speake ... A very mixed media abstract Artist in Cornwall

Lynne Speake is a multi-disciplinary artist living and working in Cornwall.
Originally a painter Lynne has a passion for colour, texture and pattern. She is fascinated and inspired on a daily basis by erosion and the hidden treasures of things that are often discarded and overlooked.

Her creations are led by whatever objects she selects to work with - always organically driven by her materials.

'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 has exhibited extensively both within the UK and abroad. In 2017 a passion for organising and exhibiting prompted her to create the Art Jewellery collective 'Precious.Collective'.
Now with over 360 members worldwide and over 19k instagram followers this collective regularly exhibits both in the UK and internationally.

Art-Jewellery / Wearable Sculpture ...

Assemblages of found and gifted treasures sourced from Cornish boatyards, beaches and forests.

The elements that I choose to work with have been found or gifted ... often recycled from un-ordinary or unexpected sources ...

I aim to gently invite people to think about the environmental impact of what they throw away... hidden works of art just waiting to be discovered, a hidden beauty within these often unnoticed treasures. Things discarded by man and shaped by mother nature's elements

I look at what seems to want to go together ... I let the materials choose who they want to be with ... I then assemble, solder, fasten and fix until what emerges is what has chosen to be ... my materials always dictate the final form.
