Sammi Lynch

Born 1995, UK

Lives and works in London, UK 

Sammi Lynch is a graduate of the Royal Drawing School whose work explores notions of place and memory and uses the natural world as a cypher for human nature and emotion.Her practice begins with drawing from life with pastels, these drawings then serve as material for working in the studio and are developed and translated through a range of techniques including painting and printmaking. Her work expresses lived experiences of the environment through canvases that emphasise space, texture and light. The effect of these paintings is to distill momentary impressions, observed or remembered, to immerse us in the sensations of a landscape. Lynch’s work is held in public and private collections. Her recent collaboration with Burberry has been shortlisted for a V&A Award.
