Tasmanian Artist, Lyn Stares.

Hi my name is Lynette Stares, but everyone calls me Lyn. In 1989 I moved to North West Tasmania from N.S.W with my husband and two young sons and this is where my story begins.

I have always loved drawing and have always admired artists and their work. My wish has always been to be an artist and make my living from art. But raising 4 sons (yes we had another two sons ) and holding down casual work while living on a small farm my dreams just had to wait . So in 2003 as my youngest son headed to Grade 5, I headed to TAFE to study full time. Two years later I attained my ” Art Craft and Design Diploma ” majoring in painting. The course covered all aspects of drawing, painting and print making. I loved every second of the 2 years. I learnt so much, and through the course I was offered work as a face painter at our local Penguin Markets, and now Face painting takes me all over Tasmania and across Bass Strait. From December through to May I work for Company called Creature Tales on the passenger ferry that travels between Devonport Tasmania and Port Melbourne Victoria. Creature Tales entertains and educates people about Tasmanian wildlife, environment, culture and heritage. We educate through the arts. I face paint Tasmanian wildlife and Tasmanian scenes on children and adults faces and I also do quick caricatures with a Tasmanian twist. It’s a lot of fun.

I also do Air brush Tattooing (Temporary Tattoos) and I can create any design or logo and turn it into a air brush tattoo. Something to think about for the Xmas party.

I attend weekly art classes at the Burnie Coastal Art Group with the wonderful Abstract Artist Margret Brown. I also attend every workshops I can. Being around others artist just inspires me to create.

I’m also the correspondence secretary for the Burnie Coastal Art Group , so if I don’t answer your emails straight away you’ll understand why.

I have had a very busy Summer and Autumn working and didn’t get a chance to post anything on artylyn. So I’ve just posted 3 new works to artylyn in the artwork for sale section. I’m currently working on a series of portraits which I plan to Exhibit at various exhibitions. When they are exhibited I will post them on artylyn.
