Essence of a landscape – Lynne Mak

Essence of Landscape is a collection of paintings and drawings by award winning artist Lynne Mak.  The imagery and spirit of the quintessential Australian landscape is Lynne’s inspiration for her selective, energetic and expressive compositions.

” Compositions are derived from shapes, structures and textures left in the ever-changing wake of time and progression, as I attempt to make a sense of place in all my imagery. My passion for drawing and painting has developed from a deep connection to the land and nature. Country towns with old world charm appeal to me as subjects. I sketch the local scenery in order to capture the unique history and character of the town. Old buildings have always held a fascination for me, tending to tantalize the senses with a thousand untold stories. I attempt to capture the essence of this in my works”.

Lyn grew up on a farm on the outskirts of Sydney, near Kenthurst, where the bush landscape  inherently developed her deep connection to the land and nature.  While Lynne spent many years there, she has recently moved to Coffs Harbour.  Lynne still exhibits in Sydney and comes back to visit quite often.

John Cheeseman, the Director of Mosman Art Gallery will officially open the exhibition at 6.00pm on Saturday 16th April. You are invited to join us and meet Lynne and view her wonderful paintings and drawings of the Australian landscape.
