Lynne Arnison is an artist who takes a keen interest in social documentary. Focusing mainly on people and their environments, she also likes to weave a narrative into her images. Inspirations and subjects for many of her works are derived from her strong working class roots in West Yorkshire. Despite growing up and living in a Northern climate she has strong use of colour in her work. From 2008 to 2016 Lynne had had a residency at Burton Agnes Hall. Lynne has also shown work at Scarborough Open Exhibitions and had commissions. Lynne is currently Artist member of the Stephen Joseph Theatre shop in Scarborough. A selection of her original artwork, prints and cards are available her studio, the theatre shop or via this website.
