Lynn lives and works on an island in the middle of a lake surrounded by a big city, in the beautiful Pacific Northwest. After retiring from the practice of law eight years ago, she began making artist’s books and small works on paper. Old-style cut & past collage has been and remains a favorite medium, and she frequently also incorporates sewing techniques, thread, fabric, metal, wood and other materials into her pieces. The goal is always to tell a story that might startle, amuse or provoke. Lynnn’s work has appeared in collage and book arts exhibitions across the country, most recently:
Sheffield Int’l Artist’s Book Prize, 2015, SIAB, Sheffield, UK (artist’s book)
Contemporary Women Artists XVII-Reimagining Femmage, 2015, Foundry Art Centre, St. Charles, MO
