Lynne's creations are often large, sculptural and share a commonality of inventive mark-making.
'My deep love is for colour, texture, pattern, peeling paint
and rusting metal.
I love combining materials and working organically.
I always let my materials lead me to the finished piece.
I never sketch or plan,

I prefer to work intuitively, letting my emotions
and my dreams lead me.
I even sometimes put on my favourite music and dance
​at the same time as making ...
this isn't always the safest of ways to work !!'

Art Jewellery / Wearable Sculpture

'In 2017 I discovered Art Jewellery ... 

Since my MA I had been playing with a lot of different ways
of working and creating dialogue
based around environmental issues and consumerism.

The word of Art Jewellery captivated and inspired me ...
I realised that this was where my fine art (painting) discipline
could once again emerge
only this time in a three dimensional form. 

A place where my abstract creations full of texture
and dialogue could now be placed on the body,
go on new adventures with new conversations. 

At this point I owe a massive thank you to the
very wonderful Zoe Robertson and as a result of
her mentoring I was empowered to once more
use my inspiration and love of all things corroded. 

From then on my practice once more became more
sculptural and in most cases a little large ...
​in fact the same in scale as my previous painting practice !!'

Ceramics:

'My love affair with porcelain paperclay began in 2019. 

I never imagined that I would incorporate ceramics into my
art practice but after coming across its use
within the art jewellery field I started experimenting.

Once the experimentation had begun I realised
how much I could push this amazing material
in terms of form and treatment of surface detail ...
I realised that my painterly mark making and application
of texture that I had so loved when painting,
could once more play its major part in my work.

Strangely though for an artist who is obsessed with bright and
spectacular colour it is the black through grey to white end
of the colour spectrum that I am now obsessed with
​and an avoidance of colour (unless accidental !!)'
