Since attending a local life drawing class in Melbourne 2001 Sabina’s passion for art continued whilst living in Wollongong, Singapore and UAE.

Since returning to Wollongong 2017, she has exhibited widely in the Illawarra area and Sydney.
Lynne Johns’ practice is expressionistic leaning toward abstraction with the environment being an important theme. She works across a variety of mediums including painting, printmaking, drawing, sculpture, alternate photography and weaving. Lynne holds a Bachelor of Creative Arts and Dip Ed from the University of Wollongong, is represented in the OUW Art Collection and private collections in the UK and USA. She has been a finalist in the Meroogal Women’s Art Prize, Jervis Bay Sea-change Prize; 9x5 Waverley Landscape prize, Bryan & Robyn Carr Arts Prize and Thirroul Seaside and Arts Festival, and exhibited in the Illawarra, South Coast and Sydney since 1984.
