Born in Melbourne in 1953, Lynne Boyd attended the Victorian College of the Arts (VCA) in Melbourne, completing a Bachelor of Arts in 1983, and continuing with postgraduate studies in painting and printmaking until 1984. She then attended Monash University, Melbourne, and completed a Master of Fine Arts Degree in 2004.
Now a painter and a university lecturer, Boyd paints with a focus on atmospheric landscapes. She plays on the inherent tension between liquidity and solidity in paint, layering watery veils of pigment in complex tones. Her work is represented in major collections such as the National Gallery of Australia, National Gallery of Victoria and the Parliament House Art Collection, and also became a finalist in the Fleurieu Art Prize 2011 and the Fleurieu Water Prize 2011.
