About the Artist
Lynn Kelly is a contemporary jeweller who is based in Christchurch and exhibits widely in solo and group shows both in New Zealand and internationally, including Australia, Scotland, France, Germany and the USA.
Lynn’s work is often inspired by plants and historical botanical drawings and her jewellery uses a mixture of unusual, organic and traditional materials; her recent pieces also include repurposed materials such as recycled nylon in her flower and rata earrings, and recycled electrical tubing in her distinctive yellow kowhai brooches.
Her work was represented in the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th New Zealand Jewellery Biennale Exhibitions. She won the Molly Morpeth Canaday Wear Aotearoa Award in 2004, both the Dowse Foundation Gold Award and the Caselberg Trust Creative Wilderness Residency to Dusky Sound in 2007. She received a Creative New Zealand Research grant to travel to Britain in 2008 and has had residencies in Nelson, Adelaide, Bannockburn, Central Otago and Auckland Council’s residency in Scandrett Regional Park.
Her work is included in significant collections including the Auckland Museum, Te Papa Tongarewa the Museum of New Zealand, and the Dowse Art Museum in Lower Hutt.
