She has studied drawing and painting with leading Australian artists including David Fairbairn, Ian Grant and Denis Clarke, and printmaking with Michael Kempson. Her studies in Japanese mokuhanga (woodblock printing) include working with masters Shoji Kitamura and Tetsuo Soyama in Japan, as well as an artist residency at the Mokuhanga Innovation Laboratory (MI-Lab) in Kawaguchi-Ko in 2018.
Lynnette has exhibited in solo and group exhibitions across Australia and internationally, including a 2019 Mokuhanga exhibition at CfSHE Gallery, Arts Chiyoda, Tokyo. Her work is held in private collections in Australia, Austria, England, Italy and Japan, and she has received awards recognising her art, writing and creative leadership.
In 2026, Lynnette is publishing her debut memoir, Finding Ikigai, which will go on sale in time for Christmas.
