Lyn McDonald: The Yard and Beyond Exhibition for July
Artist Statement
Stepping out of my house and into the streets of Mildura, the nature
strips and plants that adorn the centre of the roads are predominantly
eucalypts of various species. This move by the council over many
years is strategic in merging the City with the majestic red gums of the
riverfront, which give Mildura its unique environment. How can this be
transformed into Art?
I use the bark and leaves of eucalyptus to give colour and imprints to
my textile works. A process that I call Eco-Alchemy, reflecting the
natural environment.

Artist statement
My artistic journey.
I have always loved to be creative but did not
pursue painting passionately until in my late 40’s when I completed a course in
drawing and painting at MADEC Mildura and learnt to paint with watercolours. I
pursued this for a few years then stopped painting for around 15 years and have
only taken in up again in the last two years. I changed to Acrylics for I love
their boldness and versatility.
Inspiration.
I am mainly inspired by the colours and textures of Nature.
I just paint as I see things and try to include
detail and am happy at times to leave feint little paint blobs, dribbles and
brush strokes that can be visible in my work as I like the subdued textural
effect.
My painting aim is to create something to let the
mind relax and connect with the subject on the canvas evoking a sense of
pleasure.
