“Lynne’s work is inspired by the sheer beauty and power of nature, the sea, the sky, the land. Most of my work reflects the power of the ocean depicting its flowing energy and motion. Choosing dynamic compositions and interpretations to show the passion of movement that comes from this powerful source of nature. By emphasising the intensity of the tides and sky, one is drawn into the painting by its sheer energy and vitality. Using mostly the freedom of a palette knife to create movement in a sophisticated easy style. Will never leave home without her camera to capture nature in all its amazing glory”.
“I have been exhibiting and selling my work at various exhibitions and galleries in Cape Town.
