David Cameron 2023 'Lynn was extremely encouraging and positive. I had lots of fun and got such satisfaction trying out different techniques. The process of playing with colour, shapes and marks was so valuable as I have a much better understanding of what makes up a painting and how to approach doing it at home. I am very grateful to Lynn for the experience and would highly recommend this workshop. Thank you so much Lynn!' Zinnia Thicknesse 2023

Maker
Lynn's art is a vibrant blend of contemporary landscapes and abstract florals. With her expressive, gestural style, she encapsulates the essence of every scene, mood, and moment. Working in harmony with the seasons, she translates colour and motion into bold, energetic brushstrokes. Rather than relying soley on photographs, Lynn immerses herself in each location, soaking up its energy and absorbing its defining elements. The result? Paintings that are richly layered and bursting with texture, inviting viewers into a world where they can immerse themselves in a different and beautiful world. Experience artistic transformation with "Paint What You Feel," a revolutionary coaching method. Break free from visual replication, unlock inner creativity, and express raw emotion on canvas. Each brushstroke becomes a conduit for self-discovery, offering clarity and resonance in an extraordinary journey of artistic liberation. Lynn's work can be found in collections around the globe. Her work has been exhibited at The Mall Galleries and many exhibitions in the UK.
