Lyn Davis is an artist who shares her time between the North Eastern outer fringe of Melbourne and the coast of the Mornington Peninsular. Lyn studied at Melbourne State College followed by a long career as a visual arts and crafts teacher. With a passion for working in a broad range of disciplines such as painting, drawing, printmaking, textiles. Lyn enjoys the challenges of communicating and sharing with others her arts experiences.
A lover of the Australian landscape this fascination only increased when she took up marathon training which enabled her to be constantly observing the wonderment of the natural world with its rhythms and moods. The enticing characteristics of the nearby bush and the shoreline of Port Phillip Bay are perennial themes. “Whilst these are my inspiration my ‘real’ subject matter is in fact the painting materials and mixed media that I am working with at the time. The exploration of paint be it watercolour, gouache, oil or ‘mixed media’ are paramount to my personal artistic expression. Techniques like layering, scraping, dribbling, finger painting, spontaneous accidently mark making give meaning to my interpretation of grasses, scrub, pools and reflections”.
