Lynda Cookson

Like most artists, my work is a total expression of how I see life and what I would like to see in life. It is a reflection of my value system. It is what I would like to give back to the world which hosts me.

There is so much unhappiness and struggle in every corner of the world. I wish to use my love of colour, shape and movement to bring lightness, joy and humour to as many people as I am able to reach.

I need to strive to reach my objectives as I am often a victim of the feelings I wish to banish! Sadness, frustration, anger and dissatisfaction when my art dictates to me what it wants to be instead of allowing me to dictate to it.

But then, if I did not feel the same sort of pain and anguish as others in the worldhow I would I know that I’d like to ease it?
