South African painter Lynette Ton Krooden has been showing with the Majlis Gallery for over 20 years. She is the quintessential example of a true traveller painter, navigating the globe from Timbuktu to the Solomon Islands taking in Petra, Aires Rock and the Hajar Mountains en route. Her eyes and mind are ever open to the visual stimuli that are there for all to see but few can interpret.
Her subject matter varies according to where her internal compass has taken her. Rocks, strata, hieroglyphs, rain shadows, cloud formations, aquatic forms findtheir way into her work which is executed in craftsman like style in a whole variety of mediums.
