I’ve known Lynne since the mid-70s and we’ve been friends thru many life changes. I sensed her soul soar when she took up wood-turning and own one of her early pieces. Even the simplest piece is a pleasure to hold and stroke… a soul, psyche and kinesthetic nourishment. Her evolution as a wood turner, her aesthetic and creative growth over the last seven years has been extraordinary. Beautiful stuff and a beautiful person. Hugs and accolades to you my friend. -Belinda

I first met Lynne at a woodworker’s show in York, PA. She was demonstrating turning a simple bowl. After the demonstration, we had a chance to talk briefly. She was so helpful in unselfishly answering my woodturning questions. When I followed up by looking at her work on her website, I was impressed with the beauty and creativity of her turnings. Because of my work with the Wood Turning Center in Philadelphia, we have stayed in touch. I can’t congratulate her enough for her wonderful contributions to this craft. Walter Palmer

Thanks for your informative article on Lynn’s woodturning. The photos were
excellent as well. She is certainly an amazing artist who is able to bring her
visions to reality in wood – beautiful, evocative and original work.
Although I’ve gone to many of her exhibitions, I’m looking forward to a visit
to the Flux Gallery.

Lynne’s work is exquisite in beauty, form and craftsmanship. Though their beauty may be appreciated in photographs, merely seeing her pieces doesn’t do them justice. Touching and holding them, and spending time looking for the stories embodied in the wood is a spiritual experience for me. (I own several pieces.) I encourage you to go see and touch her work for yourself!

How astonishing that Lynne would know in advance that she should be a woodturner when she had never done it before! She was right, because her work is outstanding. Thanks for this article.
