Lyn's exhibition features watercolor paintings that showcase the beauty of nature that has always meant a great deal to Lyn.

Lyn is self-taught from reading magazines and books and she began painting in oils, but after retiring and coming to Leopold she joined a very friendly group of ladies at Queenscliff. Many of them had changed to water colours because the oil fumes caused problems for some folk so she also began using the new medium and quickly fell in love with it.

Lyn was born in Leongatha, South Gippsland, and brought up on a farm. God's creation was all around her - the changing seasons, birds, flowers, plants, sky, and weather etc. She did a bit of art in school, but after marrying and having her three boys, life was busy and art never crossed her mind. Just before she retired her youngest son Chad was diagnosed with cancer, and after four years he lost his battle. About a year after losing Chad, two dear friends shared a holiday at Lakes Entrance and they encouraged her to start painting, and she found it to be a great therapy and interest.

Across Victoria’s Midwest, we acknowledge that we travel across the ancient landscapes of many First Peoples communities. These lands have been nurtured and cared for over tens of thousands of years and we respect the work of Traditional Custodians for their ongoing care and protection.

We recognise the past injustices against Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in this country. As our knowledge grows, we hope that we can learn from their resilience and creativity that has guided them for over 60,000 years. As we invite people to visit and explore Victoria’s Midwest, we ask that alongside us, you also grow to respect the stories, living culture and connection to Country of the Ancestors and Elders of our First Peoples.
