Artist Statement
I make art that dives into the raw beauty of nature through an expressive and intuitive lens. My paintings are a deliberate exploration of landscapes, flowers, and moods, approached with intuitive marks that navigate the surface without rules.
In my work, the goal is to capture the essence and beauty of nature without the constraints of a predetermined plan. I paint with spontaneity and less intention, allowing each piece to unfold organically. The result is a visual narrative that reflects the untamed and dynamic aspects of the world around us.

Biography
Lynn Keddie, born in berkshire in 1960, her artistic journey defied conventional paths. Despite a childhood love for painting, Lynn initially navigated the world of magazine publishing in London. In 2000, a bold pivot into editorial photography afforded her the opportunity to rediscover her passion for painting. Guided by esteemed tutors: Nick Moore, Liz Hough, Sarah Spencer, and Louise Balaam, Lynn's artistic evolution has been remarkable. Nowadays, she favours acrylic medium, sometimes incorporating mixed media elements. Her style has traversed from expressive to a more abstract and gestural form, capturing the essence of emotion and movement. Lynn's work has been shown at prestigious exhibitions, including those at the Mall Galleries with SWA and ING Discerning Eye Exhibition The Spencer Galler-Tetbury, Aubergine Art-Wimbledon, and St Ives Contemporary. Lynn's story is a testament to the enduring power of artistic passion and dedication.
