About Lyn Eather

I have absorbed the soil and the sun and the Bush of Australia into my bones. I’ve always been a bushie and living and breathing farm life is in my blood.

Creating is also in my blood, and at last I have the time and space to think deeply, observe and explore as a visual artist.

I love to discover the essence of a subject rather than create a literal representation of it.

After 30 years, I found my way back to the art world. But creativity had never really left me. It found its way into other parts of my life — in ways I didn't always think of as art.

I didn't set out to create. The need to create simply kept finding its way into my world.

You can explore my artwork and visual art practice on the Art page.

The mature me is learning to bring together and balance the physical, emotional and intellectual parts of the process — while hopefully giving the viewer something interesting to ponder, discover or simply enjoy.

Time stands still when I am in the creative process.

I want to develop my practice so that my paintings and drawings can work with and alongside my photographic and moving-image work. I am also interested in projecting images onto the human form and working in series.

Making art is good for the soul — and perhaps a little addictive.
