Lynn is an artist and printmaker. She lives in Dunedin, next to Port Chalmers where the Westland sailed to in 1879. Her work is inspired by similar themes. You can read more about her work in this article which was published in the January 08 issue of New Zealand House & Garden magazine:
We will be exhibiting our 'Westland' inspired work together during Sept 09 in
New Zealand at the Anchorage gallery Port Chalmers, and in Scotland at Caithness Horizons, Thurso.
All paper boats will be exhibited in the Caithness Horizons exhibition, with all money raised from sale of boats going to The Caithness Heritage Trust to help keep Mary-Ann's cottage open for future generations.
