Nature lover with an abiding passion for capturing its infinite beauty in my work.

I’m a visual artist living in the Scottish Borders in a country cottage with my husband and our little grey cat called Sasha, and I’ve been painting for about 23 years.

Born in Durham in the North of England in 1962, I lived in the Cotswolds before settling here in the Scottish Borders in 1998, where the rolling countryside and abundant hedgerows provide plenty of stimulation for painting. Since a fresh start was in order, I rekindled a love of drawing and painting from childhood days, and took local courses before becoming a freelance painter/illustrator focusing mostly upon nature: botanical illustration, flower painting, wildlife, and landscape. I taught my own art art classes for ten years, with great commitment from my students and some fabulous work, but I drew these to a close to make room for pastures new.

I love the journey through a drawing or painting, from initial idea, to processes, to final result, working in a wide range of media with a passion for methods and techniques, from watercolour and tonal pencil or pen and ink, to acrylics and mixed media.

I also have a blog, Head to Head, Heart to Heart, at lynnefisher.wordpress.com which focuses upon the creative life, the ebb and the flow, for all creatives, how to nurture it and sustain it, sharing my own observations, thoughts, and snippets from my life. So, topics include all kinds of things about art, writing and the creative life, matters of the head and matters of the heart.
