Lynn graduated from Brigham Young University with a BFA in illustration. She has worked as an illustrator for magazines, books, advertising, the film industry, theatre, and the business world. Some of her clients have been the Boy Scouts of America, John Culver Celebrity Ski Classic, the State of Nevada, The LDS Church, and the Provo Theatre Company.

Lynn has always known she wanted to be an artist; she loved to draw, but got a late start painting, beginning when she was twenty-six years old. With two small children, she did most of her work in the middle of the night in a space set up in an unheated garage in California.

Her main interest has been fine art, with a painting emphasis. She enjoys a variety of subjects and enjoys experimenting with different mediums, as well as creating her own unique frames. She also has been sculpting bas relief works with mixed materials. Recently, Lynn decided to spend more time painting outside, on location. She has begun a project featuring Utah canyons from the Wasatch front to the Red Rock Canyons of the South.
