Lynne Kells
Lynne’s artworks are described as intuitive, meditations about issues and concepts concerning her. A favourite quote from Matisse is “Colour is your voice”. Lynne believes through her artwork she can communicate from deep within her soul that which she is often unable to put into words. Colour lifts her mood and stimulates her mind.
Lynne has a focus on abstract and representative styles in in a variety of mediums including Acrylic, Watercolour, Alcohol ink and mixed media. Lynne has previously also exhibited Ceramics, Textiles and Sculpture. Due to her MS and MI, Lynne has had to change her style to accommodate her abilities.
