Born in the UK Lynne worked as a graphic designer moving into design training in 1978. 20yrs in vocational and tertiary education followed. Joining the cultural sector and arts management in 1998 she retired to Tasmania in 2017 from the position of Director of Exhibitions & Collections at the Art Gallery of WA. She has worked in partnership with institutions such as the Louvre, Tate, V&A, St Petersburg State Theatre and most recently the MoMA, New York to present renowned artworks in Perth. Entering a new chapter of her career she now has a focus on her own textile art practice.
There is also an autobiographical side to her work. The ‘lass from Leeds’ is seen in the dry Yorkshire humour and commentary on her own life experiences. As examples, in addition to her recent experiments with portraiture, she has stitched her personal nod at the ‘Bayeux Tapestry’ in the form of a 15m long embroidery based on behind-the-scenes life at the Art Gallery of Western Australia.
