' Lyne Marshall  is  a  painter  of
    buoyant  semi  abstract  images
   that are both lyrical and moodily
   seductive. Her  works exploit the    fluid  properties of  acrylic  paint,    manipulated  wet  in wet to yield
   fresh  atmospheric  effects and
   over painted  to create intricate
   details.'

    Michael Beckmann Director

   Biography

   Lyne Marshall grew up on Bribie

   as a time of immense freedom,
   liveing by the sea and running
   barefoot on the land. For the
   last twenty years she has lived
   on a mountain range at Tallegalla
   on solar power and with a similar
   sense of isolation provided in her
   childhood.
  
    Since completing a Visual Arts
    Degree in 1994, the artist has
   produced numourous solo
  
exhibitions and exhibited in Japan,
   USA, NZ  and twice at the Shanghai
   Art Fair. Investigation and research
   are strong components of Lyne
   Marshall's arts practice and she
   has published two books  on
   on the e creative process and the
   hidden
dimensions in art .

   Having won several awards and    
   been shortlisted for others , Lyne's
   philosophy it to find the hidden
   language in art which is the subject
   of her new book.

Lyne Marshall

 Lyne Marshall Artist Statement 2009  

My paintings are inner landscapes that look at life from
many perspectives, echoing humanity’s strengths and
fragility, while drawing us deeper into nature’s beauty and
design.  Storms, wind and water erode the surface of these
works, peeling back the layers to reveal the secrets of an
energetic and ancient earth.  As if mirroring nature’s cycles
our lives move through times of plenty and drought, of
unspeakable beauty and unexpected turmoil.

The use of negative space, and my belief that an artist
can trap positive energy in their work to evoke emotion and
calm contemplation, has been influenced by encounters with
oriental art and my attempts to discover and engage creative
processes.  I seek to capture the viewer long enough to have
them consider the world through different eyes, and to allow
an escape, if only briefly, from their daily lives.

From the Sub Rosa series 2005 which began a new journey

‘Below the surface of all things lie numerous dimensions.
Landscapes  encompass many aspects and confirm the
imprint of humanity. Feelings,  emerging and floating in
the atmosphere,are more than skin deep. They  anchor
themselves, from a bird's eye view, into organic shapes,
or fall  away  poetically into infinity.’
