| Batik artist Lynn Blaikie
was born in Southern Ontario. She moved to the Yukon Territory at the age
of 18. It was in the small mining community of Elsa that she first discovered
batik; a ray of colour in a long dark winter. A nine month mining strike
gave Lynn an opportunity to fall in love with the huge vats of liquid colour
that she used to create her earliest works of art.
Lynn Blaikie's exposure to
other batik artists has been limited in the far North, however, Lynn feels
that in some ways her isolation has been an asset. The many years of private
development and discovery has resulted in a very unique personal style.
Employing both he traditional vat dying methods as well as inks and pens,
Lynn brings to her art a joie de vivre, and an exuberance which celebrates
life, living and nature.
Lynn's career choices include
both her art and teaching children, youth, and adult batik programs and
workshops.
