BIOGRAPHY

Hello, I’m Lynette Treloar, and I was born in Adelaide, Australia in 1965. My creative journey began at an early age, driven by a natural inclination towards the arts and design. As I grew older, this passion led me to pursue studies in both fields, where I honed my skills and gained a deeper understanding of the profound impact art can have in communicating and connecting with others.

My artistic influences stem from a rich multicultural heritage and a diverse family deeply engaged in various artistic disciplines across generations and continents. This diverse background has profoundly shaped my artistic perspective, drawing inspiration from a wide array of sources. As a multi-media artist, I embrace both complexity and simplicity in my work, exploring a broad spectrum of styles and techniques, utilising a range of traditional and non-traditional materials.

Rooted in the interconnection between art, design, spirituality, and healing, my work serves as a celebration of diversity and individuality, inviting viewers to embrace the inherent beauty found within each layer of life’s tapestry. Through my art, I strive to inspire others to see the world with fresh eyes, fostering insight, compassion, and a deeper understanding of the human experience.
