Lynn van Wyk
I am a mixed media textile artist.
Having loved “making” as a child, to teaching myself to draw and paint. I started my career as a teacher specializing in art and design.
Later, I ran adult craft classes, and did a year course in graphic design.
For the last 10 years I have run my own design, laser cut & print business.
In 2020 I started learning about mixed media textile art by doing online courses with Textile Art Stitch Club and FibreArts Take Two. I realized that this filled all the spaces in my heart and provided many solutions to my art. I loved it and decided to become an Artist full time. I love to create images of people that I see in my daily life in South Africa or while traveling with my husband in Africa. I also like variety and I am always learning new techniques, trying new ideas and working on regular Instagram challenges to grow creatively.
I am the Chair of TAGG (Textile Art Group of Gauteng) and member of Fibreworks South Africa. We have been part of exhibitions in JHB, Pretoria and PE as a group (2024-2026). I have had my work showcased in the Stampington ‘Art Quilting Studio’ magazine in Spring edition 2026; an article was written on ‘CreateWhimsy.com’ about my work; as well as an Australian online magazine for Textile art.
