* EXCITING BREAKING NEWS - September 2021*
I have just published my first book entitled :
'A LOVE LETTER TO MY GARDEN IN STRANGE TIMES'
The book is a large-size illustrated journal of life in my garden and the ancient forest adjoining it, during our long period of lockdown in 2020. The illustrations are collaged watercolour paintings (of flowers, birds and animals) and colourful botanical prints made from garden ephemera. The artwork is combined with a written diary sharing my thoughts throughout that time.

PATRICIA LYNCH CURRICULUM VITAE

The majority of my practice involves the use of egg tempera and gold leaf on hand-made gesso panels.  About 25 years ago  I was taught the ancient techniques of egg tempera and gilding, when attending classes run by Jane Knott, a well known  egg tempera teacher and painter.  I  always felt that the medium could be used in a more contemporary way and I have spent many years revisiting and exploring this beautiful medium, using multi-layered glazes, combined with drawing into the gesso surface of the panel. My work sometimes has an abstract quality and my inspiration is derived from the landscape, nature,  the human form and collections of meaningful objects.  

Although egg tempera has a tradition of being used in a very disciplined way to portray saints and angels, its luminous quality, brilliance of colour and sensual surface, make it an exciting and wide-ranging medium for a more contemporary approach. Examples of my work can be seen by clicking into my two galleries under the Gallery link above  - 'Egg Tempera Gallery' and 'Acrylic Gallery'. 

                                                        I have a first class honours degree in Fine Art Practice.
