"Lynn is an artist of colour, vibrancy, and feeling"
Lynn is an international award-winning illustrator. Born in Montreal, raised in England, studied in France. Childhood summers were spent in Athens, Greece, where her grandfather was stationed as Canadian Ambassador.
For decades, Lynn exhibited in art shows. Her series of cafés and markets, titled Bistro & Marché of the World, started after she spent a year in France studying at L’École des Beaux-Arts. It was there she painted, en plain air, the cafe and market scenes of France.
Her art hangs on walls around the world. An original hangs in the office of the Mayor of Toronto. Her work was featured twice on the back covers of Readers Digest.
Lynn teaches figure/life drawing to the animation students at Durham College.
Lynn has received the order of la Société Académique Arts-Sciences-Lettres, an old academic/arts society in France dedicated to the education and encouragement of the arts and sciences. It began in 1915. She was awarded the silver medal in 2021.
Her paintings were displayed in le Salon des Beaux Arts @ the Carrousel de Louvre, Paris, France. Founded in 1855, it was created for the Impressionists to display their paintings. Every submission accepted into le Salon is approved by the Louvre.
