Pastel Society of Victoria, Australia 2021
Moonee Valley VIRTUAL Art Show 2020
LYNN DE LACEY
Born in Africa, ! grew up being immersed in the creation of nature on canvas, and veiwed it in all its extraordinary variety, depth, and luminescence, as constant inspiration. Being on Zafari with my camera and sketch books is one of my favorite pastimes.
As a child, in remote areas in the African savannah, I had plenty of time to study nature and was never without my pencils and paints. My artworks were always encouraged by my mother and grandmother, who were both artists in their own right. My early aspirations were rewarded with many First, Second and Third prizes .
Living in a land where extreme poverty or wealth existed side by side, or where kindness and compassion were constant companions to cruelty, life was never dull. As I grew older, war ravaged the land, and my life took many twists and turns before I could finally pursue my passion for art and painting as a mature adult.
Now, living in peace in a village in the Tweed Valley in Australia, I paint & draw my beautiful rainforest surroundings, seascapes and sometimes, my earlier memories. I pursue my passion for creative art, gratefully.
Facebook Many thanks for a wonderful Art Show. My wife and I attended on Saturday afternoon and were most impressed.
Not only were the entries outstanding, the layout and the lighting indicated that much thought had been put into the presentation.
No doubt much work had been done behind the scenes to make it such a success.

Have been with gallery247 for 6 years, both free and now paid. Wonderful on line platform for artists which has made my work easy to find and i don't need to worry about setting up my own website; they even forwarded a message from a community college i volunteered for a few years ago, for an art tutor.
