Lyn Marie Whiteman – Artist
Lyn's work is a constant a journey of self-development and her love of nature and light has been a driving force in her artwork. Lyn completed her Higher National Diploma in Fine Art painting and Drawing in 1988 after attending Amersham and Wycombe College now known as the Bucks New University.
Lyn has exhibited in the Paris Salon, at the Grand Palais De Champs Elysees, on two separate occasions and also had exhibitions at Bucks County Museum, Mall Galleries, London, Red Gallery Marlow, Luxters Fine Art, Henley, A & P show Auckland, New Zealand, and the Foundling Museum Café, London.
Lyn’s work started out with a great influence of the French Impressionists, Matisse, Delacroix, and Turner, Picasso, Constable and J.W. McNeil Whistler has continued. She also admired the work of DeStael, and some of the American Impressionists such as Frieske, and is continually refining her approach to new methods and understandings of contemporary Artists, being inspired by Nick Andrews, Shirley Trevena and Kurt Jackson.
Growing up around the Chiltern Hills area in Buckinghamshire, Lyn moved to West Dorset in 2001, and East Devon in 2009, and she has developed her work and is still willing to ‘risk take’ and develop something new and inspiring. Lyn loves capturing the moment and especially using colour in an interesting and unusual way.
Lyn was tutored by both the late Geoffrey Vivis R.C.A. at Amersham College, and the late John Blockley at the Mall Galleries, London.
Being a multi-disciplined artist, Lyn loves working in Mixed Media, Watercolours, Oils, Pastels, and watercolour and pastels mixed, Acrylics, Acrylic Inks. Exploring different ways of working with different techniques.
