The Barbican, The Festival Hall and The West of England Art Academy. Winner of the Civic Award for Services to the Arts, she has also come to the notice of many collectors around the world. Lynne’s style and subject matter has evolved over the years, shifting alongside her life experiences and changing artistic interests, but she has resolved never to be swayed by trends or fashions which are transient, but to remain true to her own creative journey, wherever it may lead. This journey has indeed been a voyage of artistic discovery. Visiting the Maldives inspired a series of exotic seascapes, and the Balearic and Greek Islands also provided some extraordinary sunlit images, while in stark contrast, a visit to Scandinavia offered an atmospheric skyline heavy with mist and diffused light.

Lynne says: “The driving force behind my work is an irresistible compulsion is to capture those moments which have a powerful impact on me, and this gives me a deep satisfaction and often exhilarating excitement.” Over a 30 year career Lynne has become one of Britain’s most respected oil painters, and her subtle shades and distinctive textures have led to a highly recognisable style which has won her both critical and popular acclaim. Her work has been exhibited all over the country in galleries and exhibitions including a one-woman show at EXTREMA Original Painting on Stretched Canvas, 39” x 12” LYNNE TIMMINGTON ARTIST FEATURE 36
