Lyn Fairlie
Lyn joined Art West in 2018. Born in Canberra in 1961, Lyn only became interested in creating art as a 56 year old (5 years ago). From spray paint, Lyn started dabbling in water colour, which lead to pastels (and her first real life tutorials with Tony White (watercolour) and Jeannie Cotter (pastels)), which lead to air brush (the only official art course with Ventura Airbrush systems that she is continuing to this day) which led to pan pastels, which led to acrylic and coming full circle, back to acrylic pouring. She does ALL of these mediums and refuses to choose between them. She loves painting animals, and birds, and flowers, sunsets and waterfalls… and probably prefers realism over abstract (her mind just doesn’t work that way, she says). Lyn entered the Brookfield Art Show last year for the first time, and was Highly Commended for her Glossy Black Cockatoo painting in acrylic (which also sold at the show).
Lyn has sold numerous pieces over the years. She has been very privileged to be at the Gallery when a few of her paintings sold - a very humbling experience, she said.
