Art in the Cafe by Lynn Ward
2nd March - 30th April
Lynn Ward is an artist known for murals and landscape painting. Her work has been exhibited around North Yorkshire and can be seen at her studio in Leyburn.
Being born and bred in Yorkshire, Lynn's artwork is strongly inspired by her stunning surroundings. She mostly uses acrylic or oil paint, which is primarily landscapes but not the traditional ‘view’.
“I am drawn to contrasts whether it be stormy skies or shapes and shadows created by a gate or a stonewall, which the Dales provide in abundance”
Lynn gained a HND Illustration in 1993, following an Art foundation course, but her career began with an architectural firm where she spent a number of years working on murals and sculptures for The Forbidden Corner.
Bespoke pieces have ranged from pantomime scenery to murals in restaurants, even a 90’ x 8’ depiction of the Evacuation of Dunkirk. Most recently she has executed a 24' x 8' depiction of Aldborough in Roman times, which now resides at Dunesforde Vineyard.
To purchase any of the pictures here, please ask at Reception.
The Café, where the pictures are displayed, is open Monday-Friday 8am-5pm, Saturday 9am-5pm and closed Sundays & Bank Holidays.
