Lynne Boyd, painter and university lecturer, was born at Melbourne in 1953. Boyd attended the Victorian College of the Arts (VCA), Melbourne, and in 1983 completed a Bachelor of Arts and continued with postgraduate studies in painting and printmaking until 1984. She attended Monash University, Melbourne, and completed a Master of Fine Arts Degree in 2004. Boyd was a lecturer at the VCA from 1985 to 1986, at RMIT University, Melbourne, from 1989 to 1991, at Monash from 1998 to 2002 in the Faculty of Art and Design and began lecturing at La Trobe University, Melbourne, in 2009.
Boyd paints atmospheric landscapes. She plays on the inherent tension between liquidity and solidity in paint, layering watery veils of pigment in complex tones.
Lynne Boyd has had several solo shows in Melbourne as well as numerous group shows nationally, including exhibitions at the Art Gallery of Western Australia, Queen Victoria Museum and Art Gallery, Parliament House, MOMA at Heide and the National Gallery of Victoria. She was a finalist in the Fleurieu Art Prize 2011 and the Fleurieu Water Prize 2011. Her work is represented in major collections including the National Gallery of Australia, National Gallery of Victoria and the Parliament House Art Collection.
