14. LYNNE BROWN ARTIST

Lynne has been painting seriously for many years now, and has had consistent sales, both from overseas, national and local clients.
She paints intuitively, using layers of mainly translucent acrylic paints and often finds herself deleting and reapplying areas until the piece speaks for itself and finds it’s own narrative.
Lynne is always drawn to landscapes, both overseas and in New Zealand, which is in her opinion, unbeatable. She is attracted to the colours of the sky, sea and land but likes them to capture the ‘feel’ of a place rather than an realistic rendition, keeping the finished product ethereal. The additon of little references such as buildings or trees accentuate the grandeur of a scene which helps viewers relate to a piece and transistions realism into abstraction.
