Her Inspiration
Lynette is passionate about expressing the colourful organic shapes of our natural world. She seeks to find and share the beauty in all things, and hopes to encourage others to contemplate, appreciate and protect what we have been given. Inspiration for her paintings occurs outdoors while exploring and photographing our outstanding Thompson Okanagan.

Lynette's Background
Lynette began to draw at an early age on any surface available, including walls. The photography and paintings of her maternal grandfather, great aunt and father influenced her. Her first childhood camera was her grandfather's medium format camera; she later inherited his oil paints and brushes. Born in Kamloops BC, she received her Fine Arts Diploma at Okanagan College, Kelowna, and Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree from the University of Victoria.

Her Mediums
Lynette utilizes a limited palette of transparent colours with glazing and veiling techniques to make her subject glow. Her preferred mediums are acrylics and photography, and she also enjoys exploring watercolour, ink and soft pastel.
