Lynda went on to build a successful business painting and restoring town murals in Essex. One of her clients became, Fort Malden Museum, Amherstburg. Where she painted a mural of a particular subject 1st time ever documented in a Parliamentary Building. 

 Lynda’s entrepreneurial skills kicked in when she envisioned the arts changing over the recession. This led her to more training in Web Design and took her to a new city where she also, worked on Commissions (Pets and People Portraits) in her home studio. Her spare time, led her outside to enjoy birding and taking seasonal trips up to Algonquin. She loves plein air painting there and knew nature and wildlife was her calling. Lynda’s former employment as a Veterinary Technician led her to appreciate the delicate beauty of our wildlife and our importance of preserving habitat. Inspired by Wildlife and the land they call home, Lynda works passionately and tirelessly, documenting incredible species to raise awareness of the effect on their long-term survival. Lynda pledges back with each painting that is sold, to help sustain their existence. 

 The artist loves working in oils, to capture the depth and character of her subjects. Painting on large surfaces with her Wildlife Algonquin Series and tiny canvases for her Avian Migrations Series. Lynda paints everyday and continues to be mentored and take workshops. Her work to date shows how this has shaped them. Lynda’s work ethics attributes to this with award winning paintings.
