Lynne Wilkinson - 43

Award winning artist, obtained a BA Honours Degree in painting and printing. I paint most days, working from my studio on the fringe of the Peak District. This rural environment provides my artistic stimulation to translate a passion for nature onto the canvas.

My primary focus are animals and florals, I enjoy capturing life, light, and colour, ranging in style from naturalistic to having a contemporary edge.  In my studio I have a variety of work including landscapes, portraits, still life and I am always happy to receive commissions for most subjects.

Typically I have several paintings on the ‘go’ with a good selection of original work, a variety of Giclée canvas prints, offering hand embellished prints and greeting cards.

"Lynne’s paintings are very popular, her animal portraits have an uncanny ability to engage the viewer. Regardless of subject matter her pictures are saturated with vivid colours and created with vigorous, uninhibited brush strokes. In many of the paintings, the animals stare out of the canvas so intently that the viewer cannot help but return their gaze and, in effect, become part of the composition"
