Having always possessed a strong creative streak and dabbled with many artistic pursuits in the past including watercolour painting Lynda has had no formal art training.
Lynda's abstract work is often created from a feeling of being drawn to a particular colour or wanting to reflect a certain mood, she loves to use rich, vivid colours and create textures that make her work tactile and inviting. Receiving a new, blank canvas causes excitement and she becomes impatient to fill it with vibrancy and life.
A very recent addition to her art portfolio is the drawing of animals, in particular wild animals and those that are illegally poached and hunted to the point where they are now endangered or critically endangered. Lynda follows animal charities online for stories and photos about animals and their rescues and often browses the IUCN (International Union for the Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources) Red List of endangered animals for information on her subjects.
Drawing is a new discipline for Lynda not being a skill she had practised previously, but she set to teaching herself in December 2015 and found it totally absorbing.
Lynda says "The eyes of these fabulous creatures call out to me and I felt the need to try and capture them on paper", it makes me incredibly happy to know others find my work enjoyable and thought-provoking; hopefully, whether displayed in the workplace or home, the drawings raise awareness of the beauty and plight of these animals and my paintings give people a chance to break away from routine and delve into their own imaginations, or simply take a little more joy from their surroundings.
