Photographs by Lynn Ward                                                   ​Details of Roman Town

She began her career working for an architectural firm with whom she spent a number of years working on murals and sculptures for The Forbidden Corner, a tourist attraction in Coverdale near Leyburn, North Yorkshire.    

This variety of work put Lynn in good stead for when she became self employed and worked on everything from murals, to pantomime scenery, artists impressions right down to personalised illustrations.

​​As well as commissions Lynn sells her own work which is mostly painted landscapes inspired by the Wensleydale views that surround her especially if there's an interesting barn or gate of which in the dales there are plenty.

Yorkshire artist Lynn Ward has been painting for over two decades,  but her projects have spanned centuries.
' We have been delighted with the commission Lynn undertook for us at The Garden Rooms.  Lynn offered us excellent advice on the solution we needed and we are delighted with the result as are our visitors.​

Rodney Tennant
'Lynn Ward has painted a number of murals for us which have all been superb however on the last one she excelled herself.  We challenged her to recreate the old Roman Town of Aldborough as it would have looked in the 4th Century.  The result was stunning.  This work not only showcased Lynn's artistic talents but also her creativity and desire to produce an end product of the highest quality. She was happy to work with historians and archaeologists in order to produce the most authentic result possible. in addition to this Lynn has created trademarks for our sparkling wines.  She is a pleasure to work with and I cant wait to work with her again.
