| Lynne Reeves - Artist A graduate of Southampton College of Art, Lynne works from her studio in Romsey, Hampshire. Enjoying experimenting with different types of media and techniques she incorporates paper collage and acrylic inks as a starting point to a painting, allowing her to create abstract structures. These develop into random textures, colours and shapes enabling the paintings to evolve as they progress keeping the subject loose and non representational but still with reference to the subject. Working with a limited colour palette applying layers of acrylic paint and sometimes more collage and tissue paper, a semi abstract painting evolves form the chaos of the initial under painting. Her work is inspired by life, people, places, the light and mood of the day, the warmth of the sun, the music of the sea. Building on her love of the sea and coastline, Lynne, alongside her daughter Claire, has developed a stunning collection of silver and gold coastal luxe jewellery called Merryn Rock Jewellery. Merryn Rock Jewellery embodies the sea and coastline of Cornwall and beyond within an organic, yet contemporary, luxe aesthetic. Merryn Rock Jewellery will resonate with people who like to carry their connection with nature within their modern lifestyle. Combining modern and ancient techniques, each piece captures the natural beauty of a coastline that has been crafted by the sea over many years, including rugged granite cliffs, shells, seaglass and prehistoric ammonite fossils from the Jurassic Coast in Dorset.
