LYNN MUIR
Sculptor

Lynn was born in East Anglia and trained at Colchester School of Art in illustration. She moved to North Cornwall with her husband and family to a village overlooking the Atlantic. From here she established her workshop in 1986.
Combining her interest and skills working in three-dimensions she began working primarily on the wooden figures. She uses mainly driftwood collected on her local beach.
Sometimes the wood suggests figurative forms, while at other times she has an idea and has to search for the ideal piece. Lynn then works on it with machine saws, powered sander wheel and hand tools. She often feels that she used the blade of her saw on wood like a pencil on paper and then ‘illustrates’ it with pen and paint. As an individual piece of work progresses new textures and shapes reveal themselves so the work evolves in the making.
Lynn’s work is very difficult to categorise but she thinks of it as illustrating in the three-dimensional. The figures are often incorporated onto boxes and wall pieces, the subject matter not usually associated with driftwood.
Lynn exhibits and sells mainly in the U.K., Germany, and the U.S.A.
