Moving to Sydney in 1977 with her family, Lynn worked at various picture framers learning the art of custom picture framing. Within 10 years, Lynn had opened her own framing business -That Framing Place - in Sydney.  Over the same period she bought her first camera and began teaching herself photography.  In 1989 Lynn held her first exhibition of photographic colour works to a small but appreciative audience at her framing studio.  It was the vote of confidence that Lynn needed, marking the beginning of her journey as an exhibiting photographic artist. 

​

From 2000 Lynn expanded her darkroom skills studying fine art silver gelatin printing, eventually setting up her own darkroom. 
Then in 2006 Lynn launched her first black and white works, Landmarks 2041- a collection of film photographs of Balmain capturing the historical landmarks, terraced houses and parklands of this Harbourside village. Due to the success of her exhibition, Lynn expanded the Balmain collection to include neighbouring foreshore villages, Rozelle and Lilyfield.

​

Buoyed by the success of the Village collections, Lynn felt confident she had the material for a photography book dedicated to Balmain. In 2015, A Village on the Harbour Balmain was launched, a testimony to how connected Lynn felt to her community by the local historical research and anecdotal references linking each image within the book.A year later, A Village on the Harbour Rozelle and Lilyfield followed. 

Lynn now lives on the Isle of Wight situated along the tranquil southern coastline of Hampshire UK.
