Lynn Sykes is a contemporary artist painting exclusively in oils seriously for about the past five years. Living on a small hobby farm in Langley Township, Sykes and her husband have been raising foster children, horses and flower gardens for the past 26 years.

With a love of nature, flowers and the unique, Sykes paints in a highly detailed representational style with an eye especially to the use of light and shadow. She believes that all things in nature have been perfectly designed and that the design should be respected by the artist. Most recently Sykes has been expanding her subject matter to include landscapes as well as attempting new styles of painting especially with the use of palette knife. She attempts to take a subject and show it in a unique way. She believes that her paintings are successful if they bring pleasure to those who view them.

The West Fine Art Show is pleased to share news that Lynn's work, Star Magnolia, won first prize in the Fraser Valley Chapter FCA "Shades of Blue" show that will be held at the ACT Art Gallery in Maple Ridge, January 2020.
