Christine Lynam – Contact: Christine_lynam@hotmail.co.uk
Creates
delicate works using watercolour and acrylic. Christine mentions in her Art
Bio: “I took up painting and drawing 6 years ago when I
left full time work. I went to Watercolour classes for a short time and left
deciding to find my own style of painting. I have experimented with the medium,
finding out what works for me. I hope you like the results. For the past 5 years I having been painting and drawing from
photographs on a commission basis and am fortunate enough to currently have
works in other countries including Australia,
France and America. The Works
currently displayed are a new move forward for me, I hope you like them. “
