The process of developing my Australian Wildflower & Wildlife Alphabets

Lyn

Over 10 years ago I worked on an Australia Fauna Alphabet but over the years my artwork, style & designs have developed & so a few years ago I decided to revisit the idea of producing a new Australian Wildlife Alphabet. Alongside this I wanted to also develop an Australian Wildflower Alphabet. When I produced the original alphabet & exhibited it I had a lot of feedback about how it would be great for posters or friezes. My artwork has always had a focus on Australian wildflowers & wildlife – growing up in Sydney surrounded by the bush was a … Continue reading The process of developing my Australian Wildflower & Wildlife Alphabets

Seaside Wildflowers – The Development of a new Fine Art Linocut

Lyn

SEASIDE WILDFLOWERS – CREATING A FINE ART LINOCUT The centrepiece artwork for an exhibition at the Northern Rivers Art Gallery was a new linocut – Seaside Wildflowers. Back in February I was approached by the Northern Rivers Art Gallery Director Ingrid Hedgcock, to exhibit alongside an exhibition of the Master Woods Craftsman & his students. For me it came at a time when recently becoming an ’empty nester’ & my shoulder was looking like it was going to recover after surgery & allow me to work – carve – again. It was also when I really need to get my … Continue reading Seaside Wildflowers – The Development of a new Fine Art Linocut
