About Lynsey Ewan

There are a few key interests that heavily influence my artwork – nature, health and the environment. I could spend hours watching insects, animals and birds for no real reason, other than simple fascination. Walking in woodlands brings me much joy, possibly rekindling happy childhood memories, but I also like the air quality, energy and sounds – it’s a multi-sensory feeling of nurturing to me, and it brings calmness. As I paint, I often listen to mantra music that help me to focus the mind, consider the symbolism of the colour or form that I’m painting, and in general gain an understanding of how things are in my life. Art is so often plugged as having therapeutic benefit, and I am an advocate of that thinking – I see it daily in my own life. In my artwork, I hope to instil that sense of oneness with nature and each other, that we are all connected. My work is an investigation into the relationship between humans and our surroundings, how we perceive the natural environment, and the stability that nature provides us through its beauty, power and resilience. Inspired by the natural environmental, sustainability and mindfulness philosophies, I seek to bring a sense of wellbeing through my work. Presenting visual interpretations of nature’s dominance, I intend to convey the notion of living to life’s full potential through our intrinsic, human connectedness with nature, and our absolute dependence on the good health of our natural environment.
