Since moving her studio out to bush acreage outside of Sydney, Eastaway's art practice has had to adapt to a new visual location. The effects of this have had some small influence on the palette used in the new paintings and a sense of softer edges and passages of light through each composition. Other remnants remain of earlier modes of constructing space with the continued use of plotted marks and geometric shapes but aimed towards finding a new physical centre and gentle disruption. Materials and colour have allowed the artist to find authenticity and context with the light and colour of the bush. Each moment of the day a moving continuum of subtlety and nuance, with varying degree of sound, silence and pattern.

Lynne Eastaway studied at The National Art School before completing her Master of Fine Art (Research) at UNSW. Having first exhibited with Sydney's historically renowned Gallery A, Eastaway has held solo exhibitions across Australia since 1978. She has recently shown in group exhibitions in America and Europe and at Sydney Non Objective and Factory 49, Sydney. Eastaway is included in private and corporate collections as well as the Curtain University and Wollongong University collections, Artbank and the National Gallery of Victoria.
