Lyn Hodnett
Painter.
"Lyn Hodnett's instantly recognizable work features strong, robust women; bright and bold ladies cavorting. Her work has a strong narrative slant and is influenced by religions, mythology and folklore. Vibrant colour and humour are central features of her paintings.
"Lyn's preferred medium is acrylic paint on paper or card, combined with charcoal, coloured pencils and varnish, resulting in great depth of colour and vitality. Recently the colour, although still rich, is darker, as though everything is bathed in a mystical twilight. The humour too is more veiled and intriguing."
